Heading for a day / night out

🌙 Enjoying a Safe Day or Night Out in Wigan & Leigh

With the weekend here and lighter evenings ahead, it’s a great time to head out and enjoy our town centres. Whether you’re meeting friends during the day or heading out at night, a little planning can help everyone feel safe and confident.

🧡 Keeping Women & Girls Safe

Across Wigan & Leigh, work continues to make public spaces safer for women and girls. This includes safer streets, trained venue staff, night‑time safety marshals, the Ask for Angela scheme, and campaigns encouraging people to step in safely when something doesn’t feel right.

🍹 Drink Smart

There’s no pressure to drink alcohol. Many venues offer low‑ or no‑alcohol options so you can stay alert and in control.
