ARX HIGH SECURITY FENCE AT VILLA PARK
Client: Aston Villa Football Club
Location: Villa Park Stadium, Birmingham
Project: Crowd Segregation and Safety for Major Music Concerts
Product: ARX High Security Fencing System
Date: June 2025
In June 2025, Villa Park, home to Aston Villa Football Club, was transformed into a world-class music venue, hosting four back-to-back major concerts with a combined attendance exceeding 100,000 people. To ensure public safety, efficient crowd management, and secure perimeter control, ARX Security was selected to supply and install our industry-leading ARX High Security Fencing System.
After a phone call just one week before the concerts were scheduled to take place, ARX Security responded immediately. A site visit was arranged the next day, where our team worked alongside stadium management to specify and advise the most effective layout for their specific requirements. This included a detailed assessment of access points, crowd flow, and emergency routes to ensure a tailored and safe solution.
The flexible & modular design of the ARX fencing system allowed our team to adjust the configuration in real time on the day of installation, responding to operational changes and ensuring the layout met evolving event requirements.
ARX Security Fence, chosen for its strength, flexibility, and speed of deployment, included:
Anti-Climb Mesh Panels – to provide maximum deterrence and protection.
Vehicle Gates – installed at key access points to allow controlled movement of production and emergency vehicles.
Pedestrian Gates positioned for staff and contractor access, with secure locking systems to ensure controlled entry.
Zone-Specific Segregation to manage general admission areas, VIP zones, and backstage operations effectively
