Frequently Asked Questions
Martyn’s Law is the common name for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. Named in memory of Martyn Hett, who was killed in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, the law requires certain public venues and events to put proportionate safety measures in place to reduce the risk of harm from terrorism.
The law generally applies to any publicly accessible venue where at least 200 people may be present including shops, pubs, theatres, stadiums, schools, and places of worship with additional requirements for larger sites or events expecting 800 or more people.
The law introduces a two-tier model based on capacity:
Standard duty
200–799 people. Basic procedures, staff training, and emergency planning required.
Enhanced duty
800+ people. Full documentation, vulnerability assessment, and a named senior responsible person.
The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 and enforcement begins no earlier than Spring 2027, giving venues at least 24 months to prepare. We strongly recommend starting preparations now rather than waiting until the deadline.
Mandatory compliance from spring 2027. Start preparing today!
Standard tier venues that persistently fail to comply face fines of up to £10,000 and daily penalties of £500. Beyond financial penalties, failure to prepare could also cause serious reputational damage to your organisation.
Fines up to £10,000 + £500 per day for non-compliance
