How our festival security works in Shortlands

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Shortlands. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.

Written proposal & quote

You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.

Vetted officers deployed

BS 7858 vetting & screening

Trust starts with vetting. Before an officer works in Shortlands, we screen them to BS 7858: confirming who they are, their right to work, and a verified employment and character history.

What a Shortlands assignment looks like

A typical Shortlands assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.

How much does festival security cost in Shortlands?

The cost of festival security in Shortlands depends on the hours, the number of officers, the site and the level of risk — so we quote each job individually rather than quoting a misleading headline rate. Send us the details on WhatsApp and you'll get a clear, no-obligation price.

Is festival security right for you?
