A report produced by Bournemouth University for the Events Industry Forum has found that outdoor events contributed £39.5 billion of spend to the UK economy in 2018.

The Events Industry Forum provides an informal organisation that brings together event industry trade associations and similar bodies to discuss issues of common interest.

The Events Industry Forum publishes the Purple Guide website, which aims to provide guidance to help those who organise music or similar events run them safely.

The Events Industry Forum invites applications for grants for projects that will benefit the events industry.

‘Membership’ of the Forum is only open to trade and similar organisations who are involved in representing the UK event industry or influencing the industry through training/education.

The Forum has been instrumental in setting up an all-party group made up of Members of Parliament and the House of Lords.
