📢 IS YOUR VENUE OR EVENT READY FOR MARTYN’S LAW IN 2027?
We’re already seeing many of our clients starting to look ahead to next year and asking questions about Martyn’s Law— and it’s something all event organisers and venue operators should be aware of.
So, what is Martyn’s Law, and why does it matter? 👇
🔹 What is Martyn’s Law?
Officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, Martyn’s Law is new UK legislation designed to improve public safety and help venues and events prepare for the threat of terrorism.
🔹 Who could be affected?
The legislation is expected to apply to certain venues and events where 200 or more people may reasonably be expected to be present, with additional requirements for larger premises and events expecting 800 or more people. Whether the law applies depends on the specific circumstances of the premises or event.
🔹 What does this mean for your business?
Depending on the category your premises or event falls into, preparations may include:
✅ Having clear procedures for evacuation and lockdown.
✅ Ensuring staff understand what to do in an emergency.
✅ Having effective ways to communicate with the public.
✅ For larger venues and events, considering additional protective security measures where appropriate.
🔹 Why start preparing now?
Martyn’s Law is expected to come into force in spring 2027, so now is a sensible time to understand the requirements, review your existing procedures and identify any areas that may need attention.
🔹 How can J&B Medical and Security Services Ltd help?
