IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE
Our lawyers have asked us to make clear that we are not encouraging anybody to riot (obviously). Inciting a riot is a criminal offence in the UK, and people go to jail for jokes on Twitter/Facebook. You have been warned.
There is nothing more embarrassing than turning up to police a riot and realising you haven’t grasped basic etiquette. Worry no more, as we now offer the UK's first Riot Training Experience.
In this full throttle experience, the mysteries, intrigues and fundamental steps of basic riot control will be revealed. Who runs at who, good/bad things to wave about and which way up to hold your riot shield.
The Video
"Pals wear armour and wield batons and shields while fighting off staff hurling PETROL BOMBS."
The Sun
What happens on the day?
You might think that riot control merely involves screaming loudly and running into a crowd with a big stick wearing a crash helmet. The truth is far, far more complicated.
On arrival at the riot training emporium, you’ll be given a full briefing on modern riot control techniques, as well as a complete safety run down.
Then famous riots and riot police from history will be profiled, you'll get to grips with the tactics and formations you will be using. You'll also be trained with equipment like ballistic helmets, visors, batons and four foot riot shields.
During training, you'll learn all about base lines, snatch squads and how to use batons. You'll also see a petrol bomb demo and learn the basics of casualty evacuation.
After a spot of lunch you and your soon-to-be-kettled comrades will be divided into two groups: one to play the rioters and the other to keep them under control. Fully kitted out in body armour and bearing the latest in crowd control equipment, a simulated pitched battle will ensue.
All hell breaks loose - you'll stand firm as you come under a barrage of debris, advancing forwards as smoke swirls around your waist. Brace yourselves as petrol bombs are thrown. Noise, fire, smoke and fear are the main ingredients.
Volleys of simulated batons rounds will fire into the crowd, and you'll hear the command "Snatch Squads prepare" before heading out to drag back ringleaders. You will be fully supervised by ex-police/military experts throughout.
And then you swap! Once a truce is declared, the two teams will swap over. Those playing the rioters become The Man. The vandals become the nice policemen. In this all-day interactive epic, you’ll experience both sides of the conflict.
Afterwards there will be a debriefing and refreshments.
So if you have ever fancied getting behind the shield, whipping down the visor and wondering just what it would be like to face a throng of angry, disaffected types – here is your chance.

"I chose to buy from this site as the gift voucher was cheaper than on other sites I'd looked at. There was also free delivery. I was really impressed by how soon the order arrived. My only small criticism is that the voucher itself could look a little more premium but the presentation box that it arrived in was a nice surprise."
"Fast order and delivery time. Lovely presentation and super customer service when I had an enquiry.. Thank you."
"Brilliant day out, still have vivid memories even now! (Though this isn't so good when I go through a dark house!!) Absolutely loved it, really felt it was worth the money. Maybe will even go back again once I get a pay-rise XD"
