Craft Insurance

[Brenda]

Hi does anyone have suggestions for Public Liability Insurance, I only sell my Jewellery at Xmas time at Craft Fairs and am looking for a cheap Insurance which I must have. PAIN

In the same boat!

Hi Brenda

I'm in the same boat as I attend fairs (a bit different as Family History) but have been told I also need public liability insurance. I eagerly await some ones response.

I have public liability insurance as it has been a requirement when I have booked the craft fairs. I got mine from Combined Market Traders Insurance Association. Search for them in Google

I paid just under £50 for the year.

I use Walker Midgley Insurance Brokers in Sheffield and it is £27.50 for £5000000 cover

I'm with the CMTIA as well, they were very helpful and the certificate arrived quickly (laminated too!)

Si (easily pleased)

I've just got a quote from them and its:

£2,000,000 = £156.45
£3,000,000 = £190.42
£4,000,000 = £223.50
£5,000,000 = £245.85

This is all for Public Liability on their Stallholders Insurance - have I asked for the wrong thing?? Think I may go and give GM Imber a try...........

Cmtia

We always recommend CMTIA to our crafters. And not because we get commission - we don't, I wish!

I paid £48 for a year's coveage. I thought it was £5mil public liability and £5mil product liability, but when the lamited certificate arrived it was £10 public liability (perfect for organisers) and £5mil product liability, so we were really pleased.

i had no idea you actually needed public liability insurance to do a craft fair!!, what exactly does it cover?

i've even heard of something called 'product liability insurance', is it all necessary or is it all a way of asking for money for old rope?

[Apple Tree Crafts]

If....

...it were up to me, I'd say it was bunkum. But HSE says it has to be, so be it is.

I suppose that there's every chance it might be needed, some one may decide to sue you for a toe stubbed on your table or some such nonsense. Or they might swallow a bead, or be strangled by an apron cord. Everything is so 'Nanny state' these days.

To my mind, it really prohibits someone trying out craft fairs for the first time. £50 on top of your tables fees and expenses. Ludicrous, but there you go.

Am glad I tuned into this thread then cos I didnt realise I needed liability insurance to attend the fairs as a stallholder, I kinda had the impression it was just the organisers who needed to have insurances sorted out....just goes to show doesnt it?

I have liability cover as a complementary therapist...d'ya suppose that would do or will it be worded differently for different types of business?

I know I'm tagging onto someone's question here but hopefully its OK as its on the same subject?!

Thanks
