Healthy Events
Events are social places where people get together to be entertained. Places where people enjoy music, watch sports, celebrate culture and share food.
Whether your event is small or large, indoors or outdoors, you too can create a healthy event environment.
Healthy Events is all about making the healthy choice the easy choice.

Alcohol at events
HBDHB has developed alcohol-free resources to support local event managers (or anyone organising an event) to promote their event as alcohol-free, or to create alcohol free areas within events that involve alcohol.
We have a range of resources and equipment available including tear-drop flags, market umbrellas and bean bag loungers that will assist event managers to identify and provide alcohol-free, family-friendly areas within events.
These resources are available at no cost – first in, first served. Find out more about alcohol-free resources and merchandise we have to help you:

We have developed a Healthy Events and Fundraising guide, providing lots of creative ideas for fundraising and events that don’t involve alcohol.
There's also some good ideas here, from the Health Promotion Agency.
