Running a festival or large-scale outdoor event requires more than standard stewarding — it demands an experienced, highly coordinated security partner capable of managing crowds, infrastructure, logistics, and complex safety risks. SecurePro has earned its reputation as one of the UK’s most reliable festival security specialists through years of hands-on delivery at some of the country’s most challenging and dynamic events.

From build phase to break, public entry to backstage protection, our teams ensure the safety, flow, and integrity of every part of your site. Below, we highlight the key areas of expertise that make SecurePro a trusted partner for event organisers nationwide.

---

1. Build & Break Festival Security

Before the crowds arrive and long after they’ve left, your event site contains valuable assets, equipment, and infrastructure. SecurePro provides controlled access, asset protection, and overnight guarding to safeguard production teams, contractors, and essential kit. Our presence helps deter theft, manage vehicle movements, and ensure only authorised personnel are on-site during critical build and break windows.

2. Public Entry Gate – Queue Management & Primary Search

Public entry is one of the busiest and highest-risk areas at any festival. SecurePro’s trained teams manage queues efficiently to maintain flow and minimise wait times. Our primary search staff ensure prohibited items are intercepted early, reducing risk inside the event while maintaining a friendly, customer-focused experience.

3. Enhanced/Secondary Search Teams

Some events require deeper or targeted search procedures. Our secondary/enhanced search teams operate in secure zones to ensure thorough inspections, responding to intelligence and supporting compliance with licensing, counter-terrorism principles, and event safety plans.

4. Crew Entry Gate – Including Vehicle Search

Crew areas require robust controls without slowing down operations. SecurePro manages crew accreditation, conducts primary and secondary searches, and handles all vehicle searches for production, traders, and contractors. This ensures a secure working environment behind the scenes while keeping build and show-day logistics moving smoothly.

5. Public Campsite Festival Security

Campsites operate 24/7 and require dedicated coverage. Our campsite teams focus on safety, welfare support, conflict management, and emergency response. We maintain a visible presence, deter anti-social behaviour, and work closely with welfare and medical partners to ensure a safer camping experience for all attendees.

6. Production Area Security

Production zones house essential technical equipment, staff, and infrastructure. SecurePro provides strict access control, VIP escorting where required, and ongoing monitoring to keep sensitive areas secure. Our staff work seamlessly with site managers, stage teams, and technical crew.

7. Main Stages Back of House (BoH) – Access, Stage & Pit Security

Backstage security is one of our core strengths. SecurePro delivers:

• BOH access control
• Stage security
• Pit/stage-front crowd management

Our experienced pit teams support artist liaison, protect crew and performers, and manage the high-energy front-of-stage environment with professionalism and precision.

8. Main Stages Front of House (FoH)

Front of House areas draw dense crowds and heavy footfall. SecurePro ensures safe audience movement, protects key infrastructure such as FOH towers, and coordinates with response and pit teams to manage incidents quickly and effectively.

9. Festival Security (Bars)

Bars are high-impact hubs that require proactive management. We provide door-trained staff skilled in customer engagement, age verification, conflict management, and alcohol-related safeguarding. This helps maintain a safe, welcoming atmosphere while supporting licensed traders.

10. Sponsor & Brand Activation Festival Security

Sponsors invest heavily in branded installations, hospitality areas, and promotional assets. SecurePro protects these spaces by ensuring only approved guests gain access. Our teams maintain the professionalism expected by corporate partners and assist with asset monitoring and guest experience.

11. Eviction Support & Response Teams

Sometimes firm action is needed to preserve safety. Our eviction and response teams handle incidents discreetly and professionally, reducing risk to the public and protecting your event’s reputation. Trained in de-escalation, physical intervention, and incident reporting, these teams work closely with event control and emergency services.

12. Covert Security, K9 Teams & Perimeter Protection

SecurePro offers advanced security services including:

• Plain-clothed/covert operatives
• K9 detection units (GP, DDD & EDD)
• Perimeter patrols and breach prevention

These specialised teams strengthen your event’s resilience against drugs, unauthorised access, and criminal activity while supporting compliance with modern counter-terrorism expectations such as the principles discussed in the government’s Protect Duty guidance (see the official resource).
