Tickets will be refunded, but at such short notice and with the season drawing to a close, the festival will not be rescheduled this year. This means organisers may well be left with some unrecoverable costs such as equipment hire (e.g. stands, AV system, banners, furniture) and participation fees they may have charged exhibitors to partake in the event.
Adverse weather is a common cause for event cancellation, and as such is covered by most cancellation policies, including ours. It would cover ‘unrecoverable costs’ such as the above equipment hire and participant fees, but also venue hire, staff salaries (for instance security staff), and more. Get in touch to find out more, and if your client has a specific event coming up, our team can go through it line by line to give you a better idea of what could be covered by our event cancellation insurance policy.
