A string of events including the London Marathon face cancellation next year over a row about who will insure them.
Organisers of some of the largest events in next year’s calendar are preparing to abandon their plans as insurers are refusing to cover them for any Covid-related disruption.
In a last-ditch attempt to keep the events industry afloat, bosses and insurers are heading a campaign calling on the taxpayer to provide cover instead.
The Let Live Thrive campaign – which is backed by MPs such as Tory culture committee chairman Julian Knight and Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey – is urging the Government to provide state-backed insurance to get the events industry back up and running.
