Nestled between Town Hall and Wynyard, the YCK Laneways precinct spans York, Clarence and Kent Streets bringing together over 23 vibrant bars, restaurants, retail outlets and entertainment venues. We’re proud to announce our partnership with WOOM, a forward-thinking period-care service, to make free essential menstrual products available across 14 venues in our precinct.

We trialled WOOM at one venue, and when the response was overwhelmingly positive, we invited more venues to take part – nearly all stepped up. The result: whether you’re enjoying a late-night drink or working behind the bar, you can rely on this service quietly supporting you when you need it.

‍

By integrating WOOM into our venues, we’re extending the night-out experience — not just with fun and flavour, but with dignity and inclusion. Businesses are being recognized as more accommodating, and patrons have expressed their appreciation: “If you come to work and you forgot it, you know it’s there as a backup,” one staff member reported.

This initiative is a simple but significant way we’re elevating nightlife: making sure it’s better for everyone.
