HMGoG statement regarding St Michael’s Cave private event - 265/2023

The event was assessed, as all events are, by the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) and only licensed following its advice and with the conditions set including those regarding safety.

It was a private event and was assessed as all private events are by the professionals that do this. The process is thorough and robust. There were no incidents reported and no infractions of any law that have come to the Government's notice.

However the Government in no way condones, and in fact strongly condemns the involvement of Andrew Tate, which was not communicated at any time. The Government is taking this up with the private event organisers and will bear this breach of trust in mind should they apply to hold any future events.
