Event organisers will need to ensure that they meet their responsibilities under health and safety legislation. It is a legal requirement to carry out a written risk assessment before the event takes place. This risk assessment must be reviewed on the day of the event in case of changes in circumstances e.g. poor weather conditions.
Further advice can be obtained from the websites linked to below to assist you to comply with your legal requirements and run a safer event.
