About Assault Course Insurance
Assault course insurance for non-inflatable obstacle venues
Assault course insurance is designed for operators running fixed, non-inflatable obstacle courses, challenge courses and activity venues where visitors climb, crawl, balance, jump or move through supervised physical obstacles.
These venues can carry a more complex insurance profile than ordinary outdoor leisure sites because one claim may involve obstacle design, inspection records, supervision, surfaces, weather, participant briefings, age restrictions, staff training and whether the activity is run as public sessions, corporate events, school groups or fitness challenges.
Use this page to review cover, pricing and insurer appetite for assault course insurance, and use the sports facility insurance page if the enquiry also involves adjacent venue types, cover options or risk issues.

- Business interruption.
Where gaps can appear
- Inflatable obstacles may need different disclosure and should not be assumed under this page.
