What is Martyn's Law and Does It Affect Your Venue?

Martyn's Law, officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, is landmark UK legislation designed to improve protective security at publicly accessible locations.

Named in tribute to Martyn Hett, one of the 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in May 2017, this law ensures that venue operators take appropriate measures to protect the public from terrorist threats.

For venues with a capacity of 200-799 people (Tier 1), the requirements include conducting risk assessments, implementing basic security procedures, and ensuring staff are trained in threat awareness and emergency response.
