Community events
We are sometimes able to attend events in Devon and Somerset, to give safety advice. This will depend on the availability of our staff, and any emergencies at the time.
- We need a minimum of six weeks’ notice to attend a community event. If your event is less than six weeks away, we will not be able to attend.
- We’re not able to attend every community event across Devon and Somerset, but we will let you know either way.
- Due to the volume of requests that we receive, there may be a delay in confirming if we can attend and what we can bring.
