Safety on the night
- Licensed security at every event, plus our own plain-clothes team spread through the venue watching the crowd all night.
- Zero tolerance for alcohol, drugs and vapes. Anyone found with them, or arriving affected, is refused entry or removed, and we contact their parent or guardian.
- Bag checks on entry.
- Guests must be under 18.
- A member of the Vex team is on site all night as the point of contact for security, venue staff and parents.
House rules
Every guest is expected to:
- Not bring or use alcohol, drugs or vapes
- Not bring weapons or glass
- Treat other guests, staff and crew with respect
- Follow directions from security and crew at all times
Anyone who breaks these rules is removed from the event (on a boat, they stay with security until we return to the wharf), their parent or guardian is contacted, and they’re banned from future Vex events.
