Guidance for Event Organisers
Exmoor National Park is specially protected for its extraordinary landscape and offers rare opportunities to enjoy tranquillity, wildlife and cultural heritage.
Outdoor active events help people enjoy Exmoor and stay fit. They also offer economic benefits to local businesses but it’s important they don’t do any serious or lasting damage to Exmoor’s special qualities.
The following information is for event organisers planning an event within Exmoor National Park.
