Zone Go – A New Mobile Youth Arts Space for 11–18s
Coming to BD:Festival this summer
Chill, create, be you.
Zone Go is Zest's new mobile youth arts space for 11–18s, bringing creativity, gaming, music and good vibes to young people at BD:Festival in Bradford.
When the Zone Go van arrives, inflatable spaces pop up around it, creating a colourful hangout where young people can chill, create and be themselves in the heart of Bradford.
Open the doors and you'll find board games, musical instruments, craft kits, art materials and cameras ready to explore. You'll also discover a gaming station, places to sit and chat, opportunities to get creative, and a giant art wall where you can leave your mark.
There's something for everyone at Zone Go. And the best bit? It's all FREE. Whether you're getting creative, trying something new or just want to hang out with friends, it's your call what you do.
Zone Go has been created for young people who already access public spaces, like parks or high streets, independently and without supervision. While our activities are supervised, Zone Go will be set up in open public spaces, meaning participants can come and go as they choose.
If you're visiting BD:Festival this summer, make sure you stop by Zone Go. We can't wait to bring our brand-new youth space to Bradford.

Get In The Zone
Anyone aged 11-18 can come and chill in Zone Go —but if you want to join in our FREE activities, we’ll need a Parent or Carer to submit a Registration Form first!
Either send your young person along to Zone Go, and we can send you the forms when they arrive, or click this button and do them right now!
Once you submit the form, your young person will be added to our system so they can check into Zone Go for FREE whenever we're open! No need to book, just turn up!
Zone Go is a drop-in facility for young people who already access public spaces, like parks or high streets, independently and without supervision. We aim to provide a positive place for them to go when they are out and about. While our activities are supervised, The Zone will be set up in open public spaces, meaning participants can come and go as they choose.
Zone Go staff are DBS checked and trained in Safeguarding and First Aid. This project is delivered by Zest - a Registered Charity and National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England. You can find out more about us here.
