Please note: The information contained in this chapter sets out good practice that should be considered by event organisers. However, it is industry guidance and does not necessarily cover everything that organisers need to consider for a particular event.

Consider how the weather might impact the event and how to respond to different scenarios (e.g. flooding, high winds, thunderstorms, snow etc.). Monitor weather forecasts both in advance and during the event. Be prepared for dealing with the risks (e.g. waterlogged ground, getting vehicles out of parking areas etc.) and consider how to inform people attending the event if it must be cancelled.
