Tivoli Theatre gives Wimborne Minster a stage that can draw a full house, and audiences of that size bring planning duties. We provide licensed stewards, door staff and the patrols that protect the town's estates afterwards.
Trusted Protection in Wimborne Minster
A performance at Tivoli Theatre means queues, a busy foyer and a crowd leaving together onto local streets. Our event security officers handle bag checks, entry counts and stewarding, and once a venue plans for 200 or more, Martyn's Law sets out what it must prepare. Away from the stage, the same Wimborne Minster network provides key holding and patrols for Stone Lane Industrial Estate, Uddens Trading Estate and Churchill Industrial Park, all coordinated by our 24/7 control room.
Wimborne Minster Business Profile
Our network includes 30 registered security workers who live within ten miles of Wimborne Minster, 10 of whom are SIA-active and available for shifts. Larger events draw in further licensed colleagues from across Dorset. Everyone works on PAYE terms after BS 7858 vetting, so there are no subcontracted agency staff on your door, and GPS book-on records exactly when each officer arrived and left.
Dorset has 18,000 registered businesses. Construction leads on 2,830, then professional services on 2,335 and agriculture on 1,930. Farming makes up 10.7% of firms, more than double the 4.5% British figure, and manufacturing sits at 6.4% against 4.6%. For farms that means rural patrols and solar CCTV towers; for production units, static guarding and alarm response.
Tivoli Theatre is the main venue within 5km. Any show or community event there expecting 200 or more people will be within Martyn's Law when it takes effect, and we can supply trained stewards and help draft the entry plan. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
