Event Permissions

 

If you are considering running your own event or activity in our forests or woodland, we host everything from charity fun runs to motor sport rallies. Depending on the size and nature of the event you may be required to apply for a formal permission. This helps ensure that all events in Forestry Commission woodlands are safe for both participants and the visiting public.
 
If you wish to apply for permission for an event or activity then you need to consider the following general points:

• You will be required to carry public liability insurance to cover the event – usually to a minimum of £2 million.
• You will be required to complete and submit a risk assessment for the event.
• Depending upon the size and nature of the event there may be a cost involved. This helps us to cover any staff time to set up the permission, any work we need to carry out before or after your event and to re-coup other reasonable costs particularly if the event or activity is a business venture.
