$1M Liability insurance policy for Exhibiting?

I've exhibited at our local science museum "discoverfest" since 2019.

I demonstrate woodturning to the people as young as 10 (more height dependent than any thing). they'll actually go hands on with a chisel and low speed lathe. in my 6 years of doing this I've never had an accident.

this year they are requiring all vendors who have hands on activities to carry a $1M liability policy for a 1 day event.

is this normal? participants have to sign a waiver to even partipate. can anybody suggest where to get a policy like this? I've tried Canopy, but they won't cover it.
