Popular Douglas venue calls out vandals who destroyed inclusivity posters
Quids Inn on Loch Promenade in Douglas has condemned vandals who ripped metal poster cases from its toilet walls, destroying messages of support for mental health and inclusivity. The incident has sparked a strong response from the pub, which has used its social media platform to highlight the damage and question the motivations behind the attack.
The destroyed posters were designed to create a welcoming environment for all customers. They included two important messages: an invitation for guests to use whichever toilets they feel most comfortable in, and an offer of support from staff members for anyone struggling with mental health issues.
In a passionate post on Facebook, the pub expressed frustration at the vandalism, asking those responsible: "what is wrong with you?" The venue emphasised that these posters exist to support people and create a more inclusive space for everyone visiting the pub.
For travellers and locals alike, incidents like this serve as a reminder of how important it is for hospitality venues to foster safe, welcoming environments. Quids Inn's commitment to inclusivity and mental health support reflects broader efforts across the Isle of Man's tourism sector to ensure all visitors feel respected and cared for during their time on the Island.
If you've witnessed any suspicious activity or have information about the vandalism, the pub encourages you to get in touch.
