This information has been put together by Torbay Council's Cultural Services department and provides guidelines and procedures for event organisers to follow when planning an event in Torbay to ensure that the event is held in accordance with the conditions and safely.  Any public event poses particular risks and requires a high degree of planning and safety control.

The information provides basic advice for all events. All events should be planned well in advance so that more complex issues can be resolved at an early stage.  All events must have Public Liability Insurance cover and Risk Assessments (including a fire risk assessment).

For further information please contact the Events Department. To check for availability of dates please contact the Events Officer.
