Safer Crowds, Safer Venues: Good Practice for Crowd Management in UK Performance and Licensed Spaces

The Safer Crowds, Safer Venue document serves as a valuable resource for venue operators, organisers, and stakeholders, providing essential guidelines for ensuring the safety, security and optimal experience of attendees in performance spaces and licensed venues across the UK. Its chapters offer a comprehensive framework for addressing operational challenges and mitigating risks in indoor settings and represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to advancing crowd management practices across the UK.

Behind the scenes, over 50 industry authors, editors, and collaborators from numerous sectors of the crowd management profession have dedicated their time and expertise to produce this valuable asset, many of whom are UKCMA members. Their unwavering dedication and collective effort have made this project possible, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every individual involved.

In collaboration with our esteemed partners, the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) and LIVE (Live Music, Industry, Venues and Entertainment), we are proud to offer this document to the community free of charge. Together, we aim to promote a culture of safety and excellence within the events industry.
