An independent security firm has secured a contract for a new entertainment venue.

Venture Security will oversee Fareham Live, an 800-seat concert hall, a 120-seat studio, a second studio space, and two café bars.

The venue is set to host a range of events, including live theatre, music, community events, private parties, and exhibitions.

Fareham Live is located on the site of the former Ferneham Hall, which underwent a multi-million-pound refurbishment to create the new space.
