Maybe if there were security for the Beach party event this would not have happened – shocking putting a rave on pubic space with no thought to locals and tourist – disgraceful
The Big Beach Weekender event had 20 security staff on Leigh who were redeployed along the sea front once it had finished. There were no incidents of this nature at the event.
Do you really think the dance night on the beach was allowed or even wanted to go ahead without security?
There was security – but perhaps the organisers didn’t want to pay for more.
Rest assured, The Big Beach Weekender invested heavily on security (just under £10,000) and met all the guidelines that are recommended by the Purple Guide (the events industry “bible”) and imposed by the licensing and health and safety authorities. This incident was at an establishment that I won’t be so unprofessional to name, but it was not related to our event, which passed with no incidents of violence on any of the evenings I’m pleased to say. Whilst the majority of people attending the Big Beach were indeed local residents, we also have a good number of bookings from mainland postcodes as far away as Leeds. I hope this helps. Thanks folks!
ha ha ha pubic space…
pubic space leigh?, unless of course they are having raves in the areas of genitalia, then I suspect you meant public space
and it was mainly locals that attened.
Rave on a pubic space? Those were the days!
Could have been football related
”A 23 year old from Wootton.” if you really must act like low life scum, stay in your own turd town doing it, we have enough low life scum of our own causing trouble
Yeh I hate foreigners

Needs locking up, the moment scum disrespect the law
what good are they to society.
Bang him up in solitary confinement for a few years

They can’t. There are no prison spaces left.
