The Zone

The Zone is our award-winning pop-up youth space, created with and for young people aged 11–18.

Taking over public spaces in towns and cities, The Zone brings together gaming, music, creativity and plenty of ways to get involved — alongside space to simply hang out. It’s a place to meet people, try something new and feel like the space belongs to you.

Zone Go

Zone Go takes our approach to youth space on the road, popping up in communities for young people aged 11–18.

From parks and estates to village greens and community spaces, Zone Go brings games, music, creativity and space to chill directly to where young people are — creating welcoming places to connect, have a go at something and spend time together.


Refresh

Refresh is a public installation that unleashes the words of local children and young people across towns, cities and public spaces.

Zest meets hundreds of young people in each location through creative workshops designed to make space for them to share anything and everything on their minds.

Their words are then transformed into vibrant artworks, displayed throughout their community. Since 2021, eleven versions of Refresh have been created across the UK.

Refresh places the voices of young people at the heart of their communities, bringing colour and conversation to the places they call home.
