Provide cancellation insurance funds for UK festivals 2021
The youth have been forgotten in these COVID times and this summer could provide the release and freedom we so desperately need. In the Netherlands and Germany, governments have created cancellation insurance funds that grant festivals the secure backing they need to be able to go ahead.
The UK government has to protect festivals or they won’t happen. Over three quarters (76 percent) of the remaining festivals could also cancel if action is not taken.
Paul Reed (Chief Executive Officer of the Association of Independent Festivals)
“If the road map progresses as planned, an insurance scheme won’t cost the government anything,” he said, pointing to the fact that if everything is ok then there will be no cancelled events to insure.
“It feels like the ask is for the government to back their own road map by sharing some of the risks.”
