Event Security
At 5Star Security, we understand that every event is unique — but the need for safety, control, and professional presence remains the same. Whether you're hosting a private party, a high-profile corporate event, a public festival, or a major sporting occasion, having the right security in place is essential to ensure your event runs smoothly and your guests feel safe at all times.
With years of experience providing event security across the UK, 5Star Security offers a tailored, professional, and highly responsive service designed to protect your people, your property, and your reputation.

Why Event Security Matters
Planning an event is a significant investment — not just financially, but emotionally and logistically. Without effective security in place, even the best-planned events can be derailed by uninvited guests, crowd disturbances, medical emergencies, or unforeseen safety risks.
Our expert event security team is trained to handle every aspect of event protection, from access control and crowd management to conflict resolution, emergency planning, and high-profile guest protection. We work behind the scenes and front-of-house to ensure the only thing your guests remember is how great the event was — not what went wrong.
⸻
Our Event Security Services Include:
Front-of-House and Access Control
First impressions matter. Our smartly dressed, professional security officers provide a warm welcome while ensuring only authorised guests and staff gain access.
We can manage:
• Guest list checks
• Ticket verification
• Bag checks and searches
• Metal detection (if required)
• ID checks and age verification
We're polite, respectful, and alert — balancing hospitality with security at all times.
⸻
Crowd Management and Flow Control
From large-scale concerts to small private functions, keeping guests safe and comfortable in crowds is essential. Our team is trained in crowd psychology and movement,
ensuring:
• Smooth entry and exit
• Prevention of congestion
• Effective barrier control
• Monitoring of crowd mood and behaviour
• Immediate response to disturbances
We help you maintain a calm and safe environment, even under pressure.
⸻
VIP and Artist Protection
Hosting high-profile guests or performers? Our discreet Close Protection Officers (CPOs) offer specialist services for celebrities, executives, and public figures.
Services include:
• Escorting VIPs safely to and from the venue
• Securing dressing rooms and green rooms
• Managing public interaction
• Protecting against intrusive or aggressive behaviour
Our close protection team operates with the utmost discretion and professionalism.
⸻
Event Perimeter and Backstage Security
While the main event is happening front-of-house, our teams work quietly in the background to keep everything running smoothly. We cover:
• Backstage areas
• Staff-only zones
• Perimeter patrols
• Equipment protection
• Emergency access points
Whether your event spans one site or multiple, we'll ensure every corner is protected.
⸻
Emergency Response and Incident Handling
We prepare for the unexpected. All our officers are trained in:
• First Aid and emergency procedures
• Evacuation plans and fire safety
• Conflict resolution and de-escalation
• Reporting and liaising with emergency services
In the unlikely event of an incident, our teams are calm, confident, and quick to act — ensuring your guests' safety and minimal disruption.
From intimate gatherings to large-scale public festivals, we scale our services to meet your exact needs.

What Makes 5Star Security Different?
Professional, Vetted Staff
Every officer we deploy is SIA licensed, experienced, and vetted to BS7858 standards. We handpick individuals for their professionalism, communication skills, and ability to represent your brand with integrity.
Tailored Approach
No two events are the same. That's why we conduct a full risk assessment and work closely with your team to build a custom security plan. Whether you need uniformed presence, discreet plainclothes officers, or specialist teams, we deliver exactly what you need — and nothing you don't.
Seamless Integration
Our teams can integrate with your event staff, venue managers, local authorities, and emergency services to form a coordinated security strategy. We act as part of your team, not just a third-party provider.
National Coverage, Local Expertise
Based in the UK, we can deploy security personnel nationwide. Whether your event is in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, or a remote countryside venue,
we've got it covered.
