Organising an event can be a daunting prospect..

• How do I turn my idea into a practical reality?
• Where are sources of funding?
• How can I maximise audiences and income?
• How do I make my event safe and legal?
• How can I sustain my event in the future?

The "Eventful" planning guide is here to answer your questions.

Find the information you need in our handy sections:

• Introduction
• Development & Ideas
• Money
• Marketing & Promotion
• Monitoring & Evaluation

• Safety & Legality, with downloadable:

  • Safety checklist.
  • Pre and post event inspection sheets.
  • Risk assessment forms, including a completed example.
  • Incident report forms, again with a completed example.
  • Guidance for protecting lost children.
• Feedback: have we helped?
• Contact us: do you need the guide in an alternative format?

Every event is different, and each requires new solutions to new problems. That's where Your Forum comes in.

If there's a question the guide hasn't answered, why not ask the community of event organisers? Let''s share the learning!
