Have A Great Night Out!
What’s your idea of a great night out?
It probably includes great food, unforgettable performances, brilliant bars, and friends you love spending time with; or new friends you haven’t met yet.
Rainbow Precinct has all of that and more. And because a truly great night out means feeling safe, welcome and supported, your safety and wellbeing are always front of mind - so you can focus on having a good time and getting home in great shape.
SECURITY - HI VIS PRIDE VESTS
Trained security staff wearing clearly identifiable hi-vis Pride vests operate throughout Rainbow Precinct during peak times. They’re there to provide assistance, de-escalate situations, and help everyone feel comfortable moving through the precinct. If you need support, directions, or just a moment to regroup, help is never far away.
ASK FOR ANGELA
Many venues across Rainbow Precinct participate in the Ask for Angela initiative. If you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or need help getting out of a situation, simply ask venue staff for “Angela”. Staff are trained to respond discreetly and provide immediate support; whether that’s a safe space, assistance leaving the venue, or contacting help if needed.
The Gay & Lesbian Liaison Officer (GLLO) program ensures police working in and around Rainbow Precinct are trained to engage respectfully and knowledgeably with LGBTIQA+ communities. Their presence helps build trust, provide support when it’s needed, and ensure incidents are handled with sensitivity and understanding.
Venues and organisations across Rainbow Precinct are proud signatories of the Oxford Street Pride Charter - a shared commitment to inclusion, respect, safety and zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment. It helps ensure Oxford Street remains a place where everyone can celebrate freely and feel welcome.
