What kind of insurance do you have!? I'll be exhibiting at some shows this year with a trade stand trailer and am wondering what insurance I should have at shows?
For those of you who exhibit trade stands at shows......

We do a number of shows every year and and usually the show dictates the minimum level of insurance, but typically they want you to have at least £2m of public liability insurance. We also insure our stock at shows and in transit, but you dont have to. Which ones are you planning to do?

Just planning on doing a few agricultural shows around the Westcountry, nothing to large, see how it goes and then possibly go bigger next year. I thought I'd need public liability, wasn't sure what else! Thanks for your help

As a bare minimum you need public liability insurance, we get ours through simply business, they are much cheaper than the ones that specialise in event insurance.
We have £2m as Burghley etc insist on this level but you won't need that much for county shows etc. If I remember rightly we had £500k at first then increased it mid term when we did a show that required £1m, and then did the same again when we needed £2m.
You can add other cover if you have employees or need to insure your goods or whatever.

Don't want to interrupt this thread, but if anyone with an equine business wants to set up a trade stand at either (or both) at our Newmarket Charity Horse Shows, then you'd be more than welcome. All we ask is a minimum donation of at least £25.
Shows are July 4th and August 22nd at Animal Health Trust. Not a big agricultural show or anything like that - just a friendly family show with judges like Katie Jerram, Simon Somers, Sue Rawding, etc. and we get around 120 horses on site for the two rings.
PM us if you are interested.

I used to do umpteen shows every year in the South West, but it wasn't mine, so afraid I can't help. When you say SW, what area will you be covering? Maybe I'll meet you

Have a look at your current business insurance. You'll probably have some sort of public liability coverage anyway, ask your insurers if you've covered for shows - with my business (non-horsey) I'm covered for shows, my superstrong all weather gazebo is covered, 2K of goods overnight in the van, and either 2 or 5m public liability, and it was no extra on the policy. If I wanted to take more stock, I cna pay more to increase it but tbh I never take much as I rely on sales after the event as my stuff is bulky to carry so I give out lots of useful info. Might be different with equestrian goods as it's more valuable per item generally than my stuff.
