Event cancellation insurance FAQs
Wondering about something? Don't worry, Everywhen is here to help. We've put together some common questions about event cancellation insurance cover to support you every step of the way.
We cover a wide range of events, from large-scale festivals and exhibitions to private functions like weddings and charity dinners. If your event involves planning, financial investment and public or guest attendance, it’s worth protecting. Our policies are flexible and can be tailored to suit corporate conferences, music events, sporting fixtures, trade shows and more. Whether your event is indoors, outdoors, local or international, we’ll help you find the right level of cover.
Postponement can be just as disruptive as cancellation. If your event is delayed due to an insured reason, such as severe weather or the non-appearance of a key individual, our policy can help cover the costs of rescheduling. This includes venue rebooking fees, marketing updates, supplier changes and any lost revenue. We’ll work with you to assess the impact and ensure you’re supported throughout the process.
Yes. We offer worldwide coverage for events held in different countries. International events often come with additional risks, such as travel disruption, political instability or unfamiliar local regulations. Our advisers will help you understand these risks and tailor your policy to suit the location, scale and nature of your event. We’ll make sure you’re protected wherever your event takes place.
Non-appearance cover protects you if a key person involved in your event cannot attend due to illness, injury, travel disruption or other insured circumstances. This could be a headline performer, keynote speaker, host or sponsor. If their absence leads to cancellation, postponement or reduced attendance, we’ll help cover the financial impact. This includes lost ticket revenue, marketing costs and any contractual fees you’re still liable for.
We’ll help you assess your event’s financial exposure by looking at your budget, expected revenue, contractual obligations and potential risks. Based on this, we’ll recommend a level of cover that reflects your needs. You’ll receive a tailored quote and policy that outlines exactly what’s included. Our goal is to make sure you’re not underinsured or paying for unnecessary extras, so you can plan with confidence.
