Safeguarding the show

Showman protection
Why showman insurance matters

Showman insurance is a specialised type of insurance that is designed to accommodate the needs of travelling showman, fairgrounds, amusement rides and circus organisations. So, whatever your line of entertainment this insurance protects you and your business against the various associated risks. If you’re in the entertainment industry, you know that the show must go on. But what happens when accidents, equipment damage, or unexpected events threaten your performance or livelihood? This is where Showman insurance can step in, as a safety net to navigate the risks. Let’s explore what’s required in the showman sector.

 Showman risks will include some or all of the following:

 Liability arising out of the operation and use of fairground and circus equipment

  • Liability for injury to employees
  • Loss or damage to the equipment itself whilst in storage, being transported or on site
  • Loss or damage to cars, lorries and trucks used personally by the showman and their families and in connection with their business
  • Property damage to chalets belonging to showman in their yards
Features of showman insurance:
  • Tailored policies: Unlike most policies these are designed for the specific risks faced by the showman and circus industries
  • Portable coverage: Protects you across different venues and locations, ensuring seamless protection wherever you operate.
  • Flexible & scalable: Policies can be adjusted to fit your evolving needs, expanding coverage as your business grows.
