Market and Pop-Up Event Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance for the market organiser

Market event public liability insurance arranged through Zipcova is for the event organiser or promoter. It is not standalone insurance for individual stallholders, vendors or suppliers.

Stallholder and supplier insurance

Stallholders must carry their own public liability insurance of at least $10 million. Other service providers must carry their own public liability insurance of at least $20 million. Zipcova’s organiser policy does not replace insurance required from those individual businesses.

What market organisers need to check

Check the venue or council requirements, expected attendance, number of vendors, event layout, dates, setup and pack-down timing, required public liability limit and any activities requiring additional review.

Layout, crowd, supplier and equipment information can be organised through a structured review → use the event risk assessment guide.

Alcohol at market and pop-up events

If the event organiser is responsible for serving alcohol, all staff serving alcohol must hold the required RSA qualification or equivalent. Accurate alcohol and supplier information should be provided during the quote process.

Activities requiring review

Some activities are excluded, while others require specific arrangements or appropriately insured third-party suppliers. Use the central activity list below for the current information.
