Planning or participating in a large event comes with significant legal and safety responsibilities. This course provides essential guidance for both event organisers and stallholders/exhibitors, covering the practical steps needed to operate safely, legally, and confidently.

The course also explains the different responsibilities of organisers and those attending events, ensuring everyone understands their role in keeping people safe.
Key topics include risk assessments and how to control risks, audience safety, contractor and exhibitor management, weather planning, site considerations, and coordination with partners and authorities etc. Whether you are running an event or attending as a stallholder, this training will help you reduce risks.
