Creating an event plan

This guide provides information to organisations and persons wishing to arrange an event in Surrey Heath. The information can be used for all events regardless of size. Please note, some parts may not be relevant for smaller events.

The guide gives general advice that should be used when arranging any type of event. Do remember that events can be extremely diverse, ranging from a simple car boot sale, to a large outdoor carnival or a music festival, and therefore this guidance cannot be considered exhaustive. It is likely that additional guidance will be required for specialist events and larger scale activities.

It is important to plan ahead and agree the programme of activities well in advance of the event.

It is recommended that you approach the Surrey Heath Safety Advisory Group (SAG) for advice if you are:

• organising an event for the first time
• organising a larger event
• organising an event of an unusual nature
• organising an event that is new to Surrey Heath
