Your safety is our priority. In response to a change in the UK’s national threat level, we have introduced some additional security measures across the venue.

There is no specific threat to BEAM, but we are taking precautionary actions to ensure the safety of our community.

During your visit, you may notice:

• Bag checks on arrival
• Increased security presence, with body-worn cameras
• Adjustments to entry and exit routes
• Additional perimeter checks
• Increased frequency of facility checks

Please allow additional time for arrival, and follow the guidance of our staff and security team while on site.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Our aim is to ensure BEAM remains a welcoming, safe and enjoyable place for everyone, and our staff will be happy to assist with any questions during your visit.
