How to use it

Frequently asked questions

Is this checklist really free?

Yes. You can download it straight away, without an email address or account. Use it however you like for your own festival.

What format do I get it in?

As a print-friendly A4 PDF, ready to print and tick off.

Can I adapt it for my own festival?

Absolutely. Treat it as a starting point: change the rows, amounts and items entirely to fit your scale, venue and programme.

Which documents do I need for an event permit?

The municipality usually wants a completed application form plus attachments: a safety plan, mobility plan, communication plan, site map, a risk assessment and the audience profile. Depending on your event, first aid provision, security, a sound plan and a waste plan are added to that. The exact requirements are set out in your municipality's APV (local by-laws).
