Heading for a day / night out

🌙 Make the Most of a Safe Day or Night Out in Wigan & Leigh

With the weekend approaching and longer, lighter evenings here, Wigan & Leigh are great places to spend time — whether that’s daytime catch‑ups, after‑work drinks, or a night out. A bit of forward planning helps keep nights enjoyable, comfortable, and safe for everyone.

🧡 Creating Safer Spaces for Women & Girls

Partners across Wigan & Leigh continue to work together to improve safety in our public spaces. This includes safer streets, trained venue staff, Night‑Time Safety Marshals, the Ask for Angela scheme, and campaigns that encourage people to step in early when something doesn’t feel right.

Safety works best when it’s shared.

🍹 Drink Your Way, Not Anyone Else’s

There’s no expectation to drink alcohol. Many venues offer low‑ or alcohol‑free options — helping you stay alert, in control, and able to enjoy the night your way.

💡🚕 Getting Home Safely

🏙️ Support Is Nearby

Safety Marshals, Taxi Marshals, Safety Havens, Safe Places, and trained venue staff are active across the borough. If you need help, reassurance, or a safe space — ask. Support is there early, not just in emergencies.

🧡 Be an Active Bystander

If someone looks uncomfortable, distressed, or vulnerable, discreetly alert venue staff, marshals, or police. Small, early actions can prevent bigger issues later.

✋ Step Away From Conflict

Arguments escalate quickly. Walking away is always the safest option — one punch can change lives forever.
