A landmark online resource
providing invaluable guidance for anyone working in venues in the UK.
**2025 edition Release**
The eGuide is essential reading for venues, organisers, exhibitors and supplier companies. The objective of the eGuide is to provide clear and straightforward guidance for achieving common standards of health, safety and operational planning, management and on-site conduct across UK event venues.
Amongst other areas, the eGuide provides guidance on areas such as risk assessment, build up and breakdown and electrical testing.
Recognised as the industry’s best practice document, the eGuide is continually reviewed by working industry professionals who represent the best advice currently available, and who themselves have to work within the guidelines in their own professional capacities.
The 2025 edition release features 13 reviewed (and where applicable) updated sections plus 1 new section: Dangerous Exhibits.
To come in December 2025 - two new sections:
- Safeguarding and Child Protection
- Medical Provision sections.
A 'Reviewed' section may not result in any amendments. To view where amends have been made, review the marked up version.
