Do Summer Safely

07 April 2026 3min read

Millions of people across the UK will be enjoying themselves at major events such as music festivals, sporting events, bank holidays and Pride this summer.

Targets

Unfortunately, these events and venues could be attractive targets for terrorist activity. 

That's why we're working with Counter Terrorism Policing to help keep everyone safe.

We are supporting their summer campaign, encouraging the public to stay alert and report anything that doesn’t feel right, to security or the police.  

We all have a role to play 

You can play your part by trusting your instincts, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Our teams will take every report seriously. You won’t be wasting their time.  

Quick tips

Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:

  • Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks and measures.

  • Be patient with security checks. It might seem inconvenient, but they are in place to help you.

  • Keep it simple and minimise what you carry. Fewer bags to search will speed up entry.

  • Stay alert and look out for each other. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Don’t leave it to someone else.

  • Don’t leave bags unattended. Never agree to look after a stranger’s bag, no matter how genuine they seem.

  • If there is an incident, listen to staff and any announcements.

In an emergency, always call 999.

Have an amazing time, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, report it to security straight away.

Thank you for playing your part.
