The Zone

The Zone is back – and this year, it’s hitting the road.

Our award-winning pop-up youth space returns to Lincoln for summer 2025 before touring Mansfield, Newark and Sleaford, packed with free activities, live shows, gaming, workshops and more.

The Zone is your place to chill, create, and be you.

Sound Board

It starts with a conversation. Where it ends? That’s up to you.

Part chat show, part game, part live performance – Sound Board is packed with quick-fire debates, playful challenges and honest moments, shaped by you in real time. No scripts. No barriers. No two shows the same.

Put on your headphones, listen in, and see where it takes you.


Refresh South & East Lincolnshire

Ready to be seen and heard, the powerful words of young people from across South & East Lincolnshire have been released to share their truth and inspire the community!

In October 2024, Zest ran workshops for over 400 young people aged 9-18 across South & East Lincolnshire. Our aim? To create space for young people in East Lindsey, Boston Borough, and South Holland to reflect on their experiences and release the voice of a generation. Their words have been turned into vibrant artworks on huge flags, touring to cultural centres, communities, and events across the region!

Refresh South & East Lincolnshire will place the voices of young people at the heart of their community, bringing colour and conversation to the places they call home!
