LGBTQ+ venue security in London.

Security for queer venues, nights and festivals across London. Respectful entry checks, a clear response to harassment and teams who understand that the atmosphere of a space is part of what they are there to protect.

A welcoming space needs clear boundaries.

Set the tone at the door

Make entry checks clear, respectful and consistent. Brief the team on your admissions policy, guest needs and the character of the event.


Understand the setting

Talk through your audience, venue culture and concerns before the shift. Officers should know how to support the space they are working in, rather than arrive with assumptions.

Respond to harassment

Agree how guests can raise a concern and how security will involve your manager or welfare team. Take reports seriously and respond calmly.


Manage busy spaces

Monitor queues, capacity and movement without unnecessary force or confrontation. Keep entrances and routes usable as the night gets busier.


Support guest welfare

Look out for people who are unwell, alone or asking for help. Coordinate with your welfare provision and agree when further assistance is needed.


Learn from the night

Record incidents and share relevant information with the organiser. A clear handover helps the team prepare for future events.
