Scare Event & Halloween Event Insurance

As the days shorten and the spooky season arrives, scare events are out in full force!

From scare mazes & scare fests to pumpkin trails and other haunted attractions. Fright night events are all the rage, but while they’re purpose is to give a good scare, they can also lead to real dangers. Hazards like flashing lights, smoke & fog, uneven flooring, low lighting, loud noises and sudden jump-scares can easily lead to slips, trips, or worse.

That’s where David J Miller Insurance comes in. We understand the risks involved in hosting these spooky events, and without the right insurance coverage, you could end up with a scare far worse than your guests!

No matter the size or type of Halloween event you’re planning, you have a responsibility to protect everyone involved—attendees, exhibitors, the general public and your employees. Our event insurance policies can give you peace of mind, covering accidents, injuries, and third-party property damage that may occur as a result of negligence.

Halloween event insurance is crucial. It can cover everything from injury compensation claims to damaged event equipment. Plus, we can offer protection against cancellations due to adverse weather, so your outdoor events aren’t left out either.

While public liability insurance isn’t legally required, it’s a smart move if covering potential compensation claims seems daunting.

Get in touch and let us help ensure your event stays protected, no matter what may go bump in the night!

No need to be scared—our event insurance premiums are highly competitive!

How To Help Minimise Risk at Scare Events

To ensure your spooky event runs smoothly and safely, here are some important precautions to consider:

  • Fire extinguishers: Keep them on hand and accessible in case of emergencies.
  • Warning signs: Clearly mark hazardous areas to keep attendees informed.
  • Age limitations/adult-only events: Restrict access for younger attendees where appropriate to minimize risk.
  • Guides: Have staff or guides available to assist and direct attendees safely.
  • Well-lit entrances, exits, and stairs: Ensure all access points are properly illuminated or clearly marked for easy navigation.
  • First-aid kits/first-aiders: Have medical supplies and trained personnel ready to handle minor injuries.
  • Avoid serving alcohol: If possible, reduce the risk of accidents by limiting alcohol consumption.
  • Venue risk assessment: Conduct a thorough review of the venue to identify and address potential hazards.
  • Waivers: Require attendees to confirm their health, fitness, age, and understanding of risks involved.
  • Comprehensive insurance: Make sure you have robust coverage to protect against injuries or accidents during the event.
  • If your event is outdoors, a contingency plan is essential since unpredictable winter weather in the UK can easily disrupt your event.
