A good event feels relaxed to the guests and is tightly controlled behind the scenes. Capra Group supplies uniformed, SIRA-trained security staff who manage entrances, crowds and restricted areas, so organisers can concentrate on the event itself.
We plan each event individually. Before the day we go through the venue, guest numbers, entrances and timings with you, then agree how many officers are needed, where they are posted and who reports to whom.

- Conferences and corporate events
- Exhibitions and trade shows
- Weddings and private celebrations
- Concerts and live entertainment

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book event security?
As early as you can. Staffing is confirmed when you book, so booking early makes planning easier, particularly for large events or busy dates.
How many security staff does my event need?
It depends on the number of guests, the layout of the venue, the number of entrances and the type of event. We work this out with you when we plan the event and explain the numbers in our quotation.
Do you cover events that last several days?
Yes. We provide security for single-evening events as well as events that run over several days, such as exhibitions.
Are your event security staff licensed?
Yes. They are trained to SIRA standards, and Capra Group has been licensed by SIRA since March 2022.
