Have a great night out

If you're heading out this Halloween then follow the six Bristol Rules for a great night out.
 

1. Out together, Home together

Check in with your friends. If they look like they’re struggling, it’s time to act. Make sure you all get home safe, share your location and look after one another.

2. Call it out

Inappropriate behaviour, especially when it comes from your mates, needs to be called out. Be an active bystander; make sure your friends know what they’re doing isn’t OK.

3. Don't be a creep

Put yourself in their shoes. If someone tells you they’re not interested, they’re not playing hard to get. And remember everyone’s allowed to change their mind.

Everyone should know that touching, grabbing or groping someone without their consent is not okay, it's a criminal offence. 

4. Respect everyone

Our differences are what make Bristol such a brilliant place. So regardless of how someone dresses, how they speak, what they look like, who they date or how they dance, leave them to it.

5. Keep away from the edge

Don’t be tempted to sit by the harbourside at night. Keep away from the edge and be extra careful near the water. Cold water shock makes getting out of the harbour even harder when you are intoxicated. If you see someone in trouble, call 999.

6. Take it easy

Understanding the effects and risks of alcohol and other drugs is so important. Read up; pace yourself; and remember it's OK to say no. The best nights are the ones you can remember.

 

Stay safe and enjoy a happy Halloween!
