Festivals & Event Travel Insurance
Soaking up the summer sun listening to some live music? Or jetting off to Rise for some snow-fuelled fun? Festivals are becoming more popular with new events emerging every year. We know you're focused on having fun and being care-free, but disasters can happen.
It's important you're protected against any festival related incidents. We don't want you to end up missing the festival and losing out on cash. We have you covered for trip cancellation, covering stolen possessions or medical emergencies. A lot of travel insurers won't cover your tickets, even when the organisers cancel the event.
At Alpha, we do cover your festival tickets.

A few interesting UK festivals to consider:
Farr festival, Hertfordshire - Friday 5th to Monday 8th July
End of the Road festival, Wiltshire - Thursday 29th to Sunday 1st August
Victorious festival, Portsmouth - Friday 23rd to Sun 25th August
