Hiring Event Marshals and Stewards

Scotland is home to more than 200 festivals every year, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe – the world’s largest arts festival.

This is why we have been providing stewards, marshals, SIA security staff and carpark marshals across Scotland and Edinburgh since 2010.

What is an event marshal?

An event marshal is someone or a group of people that will be in place at an event to ensure that the public and participant safety is maintained during an event. The role can vary from directing participants, assisting people with special needs to security and information positions.

How can you use a marshal for your event?

Although COVID Marshals cannot enforce the rules, they will take some pressure off police and council officers, who do have such powers and enforce the rules of COVID Procedures. Areas where marshalls can massively benefit in your upcoming events are:

• Manage queues that extend outside of the premises in orderly fashion
• Supporting the 2-metre social distancing rule in crowded public areas
• Reminding people to wear a face covering and sanitize upon entry of an event
• Assisting with regular cleaning of frequently touched surfaces such as door handles and entrance points

Many sources such as BBC News stated that COVID Marshals are key within rebuilding of the country as it will increase the safety of public events.

Traffic Marshals are a great way to help prevent traffic overflow as they will be positioned in key areas surrounding the road closures or road diversion points. They will give clear instructions and information to members of the pedestrians and vehicles.
