Event security for London & the Home Counties
From a private party to a festival field: licensed officers, bag search, access control and response teams planned around your event.
Guests should notice the event, not the security
Good event security is planned weeks before the gates open. We look at your venue, ticketing, capacity and risks, then put the right number of officers in the right places: entrances, backstage, VIP areas, bars and exits.
On the day our supervisor works alongside your event manager, keeps the radio net running and deals with incidents so your team can get on with the show.

Ask a questionHow many security officers does my event need?
It depends on capacity, the venue, whether alcohol is served and the type of audience. Your licensing authority or Safety Advisory Group may set a minimum. We'll recommend numbers after a short call or site visit.
Can you work with our stewards or venue staff?
Yes. We regularly work alongside venue teams and stewarding companies under one plan.
Do you provide security at short notice?
Often, yes. Contact us as early as you can and we'll tell you what we can cover.
