Nationwide Event Security Deployment
Advance Guarding provides professional event security services across the United Kingdom, protecting gatherings of all sizes—from exclusive VIP functions and weddings to major festivals, sporting events, and corporate conferences. Our experienced Security Industry Authority (SIA) licensed officers are trained in all aspects of public event security, crowd management, and emergency response.
The UK events industry generates over £61 billion annually, encompassing everything from music festivals and sporting events to corporate conferences and private celebrations. With the introduction of Martyn’s Law (the Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025), event security requirements have never been more stringent—or more essential. Venues and events expecting 200 or more attendees must now implement documented security procedures and staff training.
Every event we secure receives meticulous planning from a dedicated contract manager who takes full responsibility for client liaison, risk assessment, operational deployment, and performance monitoring. From initial consultation through to post-event debrief, we ensure your security requirements are understood and exceeded.
Advance Guarding can deploy event security teams within 24 hours anywhere in the UK. We work closely with event organisers, venue management, and emergency services to deliver integrated security solutions that keep your event running smoothly and safely.
Our Event Security Services
Crowd Management & Safety
Professional crowd control and management for events of any size. Our officers are trained in crowd dynamics, surge prevention, and capacity monitoring to maintain safe environments. We coordinate entry and exit flows, manage queuing systems, and implement emergency evacuation procedures when required—ensuring attendee safety whilst maintaining a positive event atmosphere throughout.
Comprehensive Risk Assessment
Every event receives a detailed security risk assessment identifying potential vulnerabilities and threats specific to your venue and gathering type. We develop tailored security plans addressing access control, perimeter protection, emergency response protocols, and contingency measures—ensuring full compliance with Health and Safety requirements and the new Martyn’s Law obligations.
Access Control & Screening
Robust access control systems preventing unauthorised entry whilst maintaining efficient guest flow. Our officers manage ticket verification, credential checking, bag searches, and vehicle screening where required. We implement VIP lanes, backstage security, and restricted area protection—ensuring only authorised personnel access sensitive locations throughout your event.

Specialist close protection for VIPs, celebrities, and high-profile guests attending your event. Our CP operatives provide discrete personal security including secure transportation coordination, protected travel routes, private area management, and immediate threat response.
