Ormskirk After Dark

Stay Safe in Ormskirk

Plan your night. Look after each other.

Stay Safe in Ormskirk

Ormskirk is a welcoming night out, but the usual precautions still matter. Stay with friends where possible, keep an eye on your drinks, make sure your phone has enough charge, and plan how you are getting home before the end of the night.

Ask for Angela

If you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or threatened while you are out, go to a member of staff and ask for Angela. The phrase is designed to discreetly signal that you need help. Staff at participating venues can help you move to a safer place, contact a friend or arrange appropriate assistance.

Important: participation can vary between venues, so do not assume every venue operates the scheme. If you are in immediate danger, contact the emergency services.

Getting home safely

Use a licensed taxi or private-hire service, arrange your journey before leaving the venue, and avoid walking home alone late at night where possible. Never get into an unbooked private-hire vehicle.

Look after your friends

Keep your group informed if you leave early or change venue. If someone appears unusually unwell, confused or much more intoxicated than expected, stay with them and seek help from venue staff or emergency services where necessary.
