Things to consider when organising an event
Fire safety
You should carry out a fire risk assessment for your event.
For guidance on fire risk assessments for open air events and venues, see .
Special consideration needs to be given to these risk areas:
- Electrical equipment
- Tents and marquees
- Portable generators
- Mobile concessions
- Vehicles
You should:
- Plan how to escape safely if there is an emergency
- Make sure that there are enough exits for the expected number of visitors
- Provide a suitable and sufficient level of fire-fighting equipment
