My Night Out

Join our night-time safe space programme

My Night Out is a night-time economy safety initiative aimed at improving the safety of residents and tourists by providing safe spaces and guidance to reduce risk of harm.

Night Shield is a safety scheme in Thanet where local night-time businesses will operate as a safe space, offering support and help to those that;

  • need an immediate place of safety,
  • are in need of medical help,
  • or have been a victim of a crime.

Night Shield members will register as part of our Safe Places scheme and support a safer Thanet.
