Much of this happens behind the scenes, but you may notice CCTV cameras around the venue, security patrols and search dogs while visiting. We have highly trained staff and work in partnership with the Police, Counter Terror Security Advisors and independent security consultants to plan and manage our security. Covert behavioural detection officers and Police Servitor teams will often be present.</p><h4>What can you do to help?</h4><p>Please tell our security or stewards if you notice anything suspicious while in and around the venue. This could be unattended packages, luggage or vehicles, or someone behaving in a suspicious manner.</p><p>Ensure you arrive in plenty of time to pass through any security checks and have your tickets ready to be checked. Our security teams work hard to keep you safe so please help them by co-operating with their requests. We carry out bag searches and you may be screened with search dogs and search wands upon arrival. By not carrying a bag, your entry into the venue will be quicker. Where this is not possible, we have a cloakroom available for most events.</p><p>Please be aware that pickpockets target mobile phones, particularly at gigs. Don’t leave your mobile in loose-fitting pockets and report any missing mobiles to security immediately.</p><p>We don’t tolerate abuse to visitors or staff and are active supporters of the government’s <a href="https://enough.campaign.gov.uk/">‘Enough’ campaign</a> aimed at stopping abuse to women. If you feel unsafe or threatened, you can discreetly seek help by asking venue staff for ‘Angela’. This codeword will indicate to staff that you require help. </p><p>Keep alert to spiking either from drinks or needles, especially at gigs. You can learn about spiking on the <a href="https://www.talktofrank.com/news/spiking">Talk to Frank website</a>. Please report any concerns or incidents immediately to one of the security team.</p><h4>Do not bring any of these prohibited items:</h4><ul><li>Knives, bladed objects, or any items that may be considered for use as a weapon</li><li>Fireworks, pyrotechnics (including smoke bombs) or flares</li><li>Illegal substances or unidentifiable substances</li><li>Legal highs (including Nitrous Oxide)</li><li>Laser pens</li><li>Air horns and megaphones</li><li>Large signs or banners</li><li>Animals (except assistance dogs)</li><li>Audio and visual recording equipment</li><li>Any goods for unauthorised trading</li><li>Any items that may cause danger, offence or disruption to any other person</li></ul><p>Prohibited items are subject to change based on the event risk assessments.
