Three steps to the right policy
Tell us about your risk
Use our online quote engine for most UK events, instant cover, no waiting. For prize insurance, film productions, international events, or anything complex, complete an enquiry form or call us directly.
We structure the right cover
Our underwriting team assesses your risk and puts together cover that reflects your specific situation, not a generic template. You select the elements you need and leave out the ones you don't.
Your policy is in place
Documentation issued promptly, ready to share with a venue, broadcaster, local authority or licensing body the moment you need it. If something goes wrong, our team is the one you call.

What's the difference between your three main product lines?
Event Insurance protects against the financial risks of organising an event, cancellation, public liability, non-appearance of performers and property damage.
Prize Insurance covers the cost of a prize being won in a competition or promotion, you pay a fixed premium and we pay out if someone wins.
Film & Media Insurance covers production companies against the additional costs caused by disruptions to a shoot, cast illness, equipment failure, location problems and more.
Can I get an instant quote online?
Yes, for most UK events, our online quote engine provides an instant quote and immediate policy. Prize insurance, film and media productions, international events and more complex risks are handled by our underwriting team directly, who will turn around terms as quickly as possible after receiving your enquiry.
Are you a broker, or do you underwrite directly?
We are a specialist underwriting agency and Coverholder at Lloyd's, which means we assess, price and underwrite the risk ourselves. You're dealing with the people who make the underwriting decisions, not an intermediary passing your enquiry on. UK and international brokers are also welcome to place risks with us directly.
Do you cover events and productions outside the UK?
Yes. Through Lloyd's we can arrange cover in over 70 countries across our event, prize and film & media product lines. International risks are typically handled through our enquiry form rather than the instant quote engine.
How long have you been operating?
WorldWide Special Risks has been underwriting specialist event and prize insurance for over 20 years. We are a trading name of WorldWide Hole 'N One Limited, registered in England and Wales (No. 3080528), authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Reference: 305121).
