High risk
Crowd-safety risk
Why the crowd is risky
- Narrow streets beside open canals — limited escape and a fall risk at the edges.
- City-wide density with people funnelling across a few bridges.
- All-day alcohol and very high footfall.
Critical locations
Canal-side streets
Crowd pressed between buildings and open water, with people at the edge.

Chokepoints where whole streets of people funnel across at once.
Working this event?
In our view, stewards and volunteers in crowd-facing roles at an event like this benefit from basic crowd-safety training — knowing how to read density, keep routes clear and act in a crush. Our certificate covers exactly that.
These are our own event profiles, compiled from public information. We are not affiliated with, nor do we endorse, these events. Attendance figures are planning estimates, and the recommended number of trained crowd-safety volunteers is a rough guide based on common steward ratios — not an official figure or a legal requirement.
