Martyn's Law: what small venues need to know

A one-page A4 leaflet in plain English for venue owners and managers, hall committees, and the councils and groups who support them. It covers what the law is, whether your venue is likely to be in scope, what the standard tier asks, the four procedures, simple steps to take now and where to check the official guidance.

It is free to print, photocopy and share: pin it on a noticeboard, hand it round at a committee meeting or send it to the venues you support.
