Venue Insurance
As a performing arts venue, you can get general business cover from any insurer. But there are good reasons for working with a specialist broker who knows how the industry operates.
The business of running a venue involves some major implications for insurance, and many non-specialist insurers have fixed (and inaccurate) ideas about the industry – charging high premiums to protect themselves against the perceived high costs of cancellation, temperamental artists, unsociable hours and “high-risk” activities.
That's why we've designed Performing Arts Portfolio, a specialist insurance policy for the unique risk exposures encountered by venues, theatres and concert halls. Performing Arts Portfolio is exclusively available through La Playa, and is underwritten by global giant Chubb Insurance.
Performing Arts Portfolio helps avoid expensive duplications by covering many risks under a single policy, including:
- Property: computers, sheet music, audio visual equipment, offices, props, stock and musical instruments
- Business Interruption: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions (fire, flood, power & telecommunications failure, prevention of access to the venue, failure of safety curtain and lighting)
- Public, Product & Employers' Liabilities: compensation payments as a result of damage to third party property or personal injury (audiences and artists)
- Money: box office income, per diems, merchandise cash
- Travel & Touring: trip cancellation, medical expenses, passport replacement, loss of baggage
We can also arrange:
- Professional Liabilities: helping to defend you against allegations of libel, slander, infringement of copyright, breach of confidentiality
- Directors' & Officers' Liability/Trustee Liability Insurance: protecting your decisions-makers against alleged mismanagement of the organisation
- Cancellation Insurance: cover against financial loss as a result of causes beyond your control resulting in cancellation, abandonment, postponement or re-scheduling of an event.
La Playa is one of the few independent insurance brokers specialising in the performing arts, looking after many leading venues and concert halls.

“I found the service provided by Paula very welcoming and helpful. Feeling very uncertain about our needs and requirements meant I was a little nervous about the whole process, but Paula was very patient and explained everything simply and slowly.”
