Event Management Plan

About this document

What it’s for

An event management plan (EMP) brings together everything about how your event will be organised and kept safe. Local authority Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs), licensing authorities, landowners, insurers and emergency services will usually ask for one for larger or higher-risk events. It also helps your team work from the same information.

When to use it

  • For any public event beyond a small private gathering
  • When submitting your event to the council’s Safety Advisory Group or applying for a licence
  • Start early – larger events often need 3 to 6 months’ notice

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Complete each section, scaled to the size and risk of your event
  • Attach the risk assessment, site plan, emergency plan and other supporting documents from this pack
  • Circulate the final version to the team, venue, SAG and emergency services, and keep it under version control

Key points to check

  • Follow the Purple Guide and HSE guidance on event safety
  • Check whether the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 applies to your event or venue

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
