Today, April 3rd 2025, Martyn’s Law, officially called the Terrorism (Protection of Premises Bill) received Royal Assent from the King, making it law in the UK.
The Act, which arose from the bombing of an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in 2017, is aimed at preventing and reducing the harm of terror attacks at venues. As such, this is of particular interest to the hospitality sector.
