The Events Industry Forum has published official guidance to help employers, employees, volunteers and the self-employed, and their customers and attendees, in the outdoor event industry in England understand how to work safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping as many people as possible socially distanced from outside of their household or support bubble, in line with the latest government regulations.

The guidance has been drawn up with input from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and in consultation with Public Health England (PHE) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and is available from the Events Industry Forum website.

There is a subscription of £25 plus VAT for 12 months  access to the Purple Guide website, including all updates and additional guidance that may be added during that period.

For organisations requiring multiple logins there are a number of subscription plans available.

For instant access, payment must be made by credit/debit card. These are processed by PayPal, however you do not require a PayPal account in order to complete payment.

Those who need to pay by invoice can do so by selecting this payment option. If you complete the Purchase Order number box on the subscription form, this will be added to the invoice.

All funds raised through subscriptions will be used solely for funding the work of the EIF and particularly the costs of maintaining and extending the Purple Guide. EIF is not run for commercial profit.

Health & Safety Executive

“The Purple Guide has been written by The Events Industry Forum in consultation with the events industry. Its aim is to help those event organisers who are dutyholders to manage health and safety, particularly at large-scale music and similar events.  The Health and Safety Executive was consulted in the production of the workplace health and safety parts of this publication.

"Following this guidance is not compulsory, unless specifically stated, as some elements go further than the minimum you need to do to comply with workplace health and safety law. If in doubt you should refer to the requirements of the law at www.hse.gov.uk”
“The publication of new and up-to-date guidance for the management of events is welcomed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health which has provided funding to support the launch.”
 “The Concert Promoters Association helped to fund development of the new Purple Guide and fully supports it as guidance for the safe development and management of events.”
