Heading for a day / night out

Heading Out for the Night? Here’s the Game Plan:

So, you're getting ready for a big night—music, mates, maybe a few drinks. Before you step out, do yourself a favour: charge your phone. Seriously, nothing worse than being lost with 2% battery. Screenshot your route too—just in case signal drops or your maps app decides to take a nap.

Got your ride sorted? Whether it’s a taxi, a lift from a mate, or public transport, book it early. You don’t want to be stranded when the night winds down.

Rolling With Your Crew

You head out together, you come back together—that’s the rule. Set up a group chat, drop a location pin, whatever works. Just make sure no one’s left behind, especially if someone’s had a bit too much. Look out for each other like you always do.

Drinks? Go Easy

It’s tempting to go all in, but pace yourself. It’s a night out, not a race. Keep your drink close and don’t let it out of sight. And eat something before you go—it’s not just a myth, it really helps.

If Things Go Sideways

Feeling off? Lost? Overwhelmed? There are people around who’ve got your back—Street Pastors, venue staff, security. Safe Spaces are there if you need a breather. And if it’s serious, don’t hesitate: call 999. For less urgent stuff, 101 is your go-to.

In the Thick of It

Crowds can be wild. Follow the signs, listen to the stewards—they know what’s up. Don’t push, don’t climb barriers, and give people space. Everyone’s there to have a good time, just like you.

Before You Go

Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. Be kind—to staff, strangers, and your mates. That good vibe you bring? It makes the night better for everyone.

Now go have a cracking night. Stay safe, look after each other, and make some memories.
