Amateur Highland Games Insurance: Coverage, Cost and Same-Day Guide

Amateur Highland games feature heavy throwing events such as caber toss, stone put and hammer throw, often alongside piping, dancing and vendors. Organizers should separate throwing zones from the public, sort out competitor injury questions and collect certificates from pipe bands, food vendors and the venue.

Which guide answers my question?

Which activities should the application describe?

Insurers price and review amateur Highland games insurance from the activity plan, not the event name. Describe who is responsible for each of these arrangements:

  • List every athletic discipline offered.
  • Separate throwing, lifting and performance areas.
  • Schedule competitors and public access.

What kind of claim is this insurance for?

Suppose a spectator is struck when a weighted hammer slips from a thrower's grip and flies past the rope line and alleges that the Highland games organizer caused the injury. That is the kind of third-party claim event liability insurance may address, subject to the policy terms. If a competitor is injured tossing the caber or lifting stones and seeks injury costs, you may need a separate coverage option; ordinary event liability is not automatically the answer.

What should I have ready for a quote?

  • The legal name of the Highland games organizer who will be the named insured.
  • Event dates, setup and teardown times, the venue address and expected daily attendance.
  • The venue contract or permit, including any certificate and additional insured wording it requires.
  • Whether alcohol is served, sold or brought by guests, and who serves it.
  • Hired vendors, performers and equipment rentals, and any activity beyond the list above.
