The bank holiday is approaching and the vibrant nightlife in Barnsley is set to be busier than ever. We are committing to ensuring that everyone can enjoy a fun and safe night out. Our dedicated Nightlife Marshals and Angels will be out in full force, providing a reassuring presence and offering assistance where needed.

Meet Our Nightlife Marshals

Our Nightlife Marshals are easily recognisable in their red high-visibility jackets. Firstly they play a crucial role in managing the taxi rank queues, ensuring that everyone can get home safely and efficiently. Further more their responsibilities include:

• Managing Taxi Ranks: Keeping the taxi queues orderly, preventing conflicts, and ensuring a smooth process for everyone waiting for a ride home.
• Resolving Arguments: Stepping in to mediate and resolve disputes before they escalate.
• Handling Inappropriate Behaviour: Addressing any incidents of inappropriate behaviour promptly and professionally to maintain a safe environment for all.

Our marshalls are training to handle a variety of situations, henceforth ensuring that your night out in Barnsley remains enjoyable and trouble-free.

In addition to our marshalls, our Nightlife Angels are providing support to anyone who feels vulnerable or alone. Wearing pink high-visibility jackets, they are a comforting presence for those who need assistance. Their focus includes:

• Helping the Vulnerable: Offering help to anyone who feels unsafe or vulnerable, ensuring they have someone to turn to.
• Preventing Violence: Specialising in preventing violence against women and young girls, our Angels work to create a safer environment for everyone.
