Festival Security — in short
Festivals fail on the details: pinch points at the gate, an unmanaged backstage door, an artist arrival with no plan. We build the plan with your event safety team and staff it with licensed, briefed officers. Officers hold valid, in-date SIA licences, verifiable on the SIA public register, and are screened to BS 7858 standards. Enquiries are answered 24/7 and, where appropriate, we provide an itemised written quotation following an initial confidential assessment.
Enquiries answered 24/7 — 020 3488 5714 or WhatsApp. Confidential — an NDA is signed before operational detail is exchanged.
What we are actually protecting against
Ingress crushing
Gate design and staffing determine whether ingress is safe or dangerous.
Backstage access
Unmanaged AAA passes are the fastest route to an artist incident.
Perimeter incursion
Fence-line breaches distort capacity figures and licensing compliance.
Martyn's Law duties
Qualifying venues and events must show documented counter-terrorism planning.
What is included
- SIA-licensed crowd management and door supervision
- Gate, search and ingress planning
- Backstage and artist compound access control
- Artist and VIP close protection
- Perimeter and fence-line patrols
- Counter-terrorism planning aligned to Martyn's Law
Real-world example
A 12,000-capacity festival had experienced dangerous ingress queues the previous year. We redesigned the gate layout with the event safety adviser, added search lanes and staffed a phased ingress. Peak queue times fell by over half and the licensing authority recorded no ingress concerns in its post-event report.
Details altered to protect client identity. No client is ever named.
