Securing Creativity: Norvic Guards at the Banksy Exhibition in Norwich
This past week has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences for the Norvic Guards Security team. We had the privilege of providing professional event security for the highly anticipated Banksy Exhibition hosted by the Urban Art Store at The Undercroft in Norwich.
Banksy’s work is renowned worldwide for its thought-provoking messages and iconic style, and bringing such an exhibition to Norwich is a huge cultural moment for the city. With the arrival of priceless and delicate artwork comes the responsibility to protect it – and that’s where our team stepped in.
From the moment the exhibition opened, our focus was on three core goals:
Safeguarding the artwork – Banksy’s pieces hold significant cultural and financial value. Our trained team ensured they remained secure at all times.
Crowd safety and visitor management – The exhibition attracted art lovers, tourists, and curious locals. We helped manage queues, maintain a smooth flow of guests, and created a welcoming environment for everyone.
Delivering a professional and friendly presence – Security isn’t just about vigilance; it’s also about customer service. We’re proud that visitors felt both safe and comfortable during their time at the exhibition.
Working alongside the Urban Art Store and the venue team at The Undercroft was a fantastic collaboration. We’d like to extend a big thank you to Lee and everyone involved for trusting Norvic Guards with this important responsibility.
Events like this highlight why experienced and adaptable security is so vital. Every venue has its own unique challenges, from safeguarding assets to managing large, enthusiastic crowds. At Norvic Guards, we tailor our approach to match the event’s needs, ensuring safety without detracting from the experience.
For the Banksy Exhibition, that meant being highly visible and approachable, ready to assist visitors, and prepared for any situation – all while respecting the artistic atmosphere of the event. The positive feedback we received from guests and organisers alike has been incredibly rewarding for our entire team.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, we highly recommend it. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a Banksy fan, or simply looking for something different to do in Norwich, the exhibition at The Undercroft is a must-see. It’s an opportunity to enjoy world-class art right here in our city – and we’re proud to play a part in making it safe and enjoyable for everyone.
