Insurance for shows

[rovers90]

Does anybody have insurance or experience of insurance that covers you for exhibiting at trade fairs, shows etc. I have said I will attend a local firewood fair and was planning on selling a range of axes but after spending all afternoon on the telephone it seems its a bit of a black hole!!

 

If some one picked an axe up and hurt themselves with it, ie ran their finger along the blade, it is not covered under public liability or product liability or event insurance. I have tried Trust, Lycetts, Hiscox and Events Insurance.

 

Any one got any bright ideas?

Perhaps the folks holding the show could have your company covered via a rider on their umbrella policy. Give that a try.

Can't see why it would be a problem really!

 

I have public liability for arbtalk for the shows I do.

Yes Steve but I haven't seen sharp implements on the arbtalk stand at shows. Its the fact I want to sell axes that insurers are not happy about - if somebody tried to split wood with the axe and the axe broke that would be product liability; if I did it and a wood splinter flew off and hit joe public that is covered by public liability; joe public picking an axe and doing injury to themselves is covered by neither hence the problem.

 

But I will call your recommendation in the morning cheers.

Our insurance covers us for shows, and I've just had a quote from trust and that covers me as well. Go back to your current insurer I'm sure they should be able to do it.
