Opening Times

3rd August - 4th September 2026 Mondays - Fridays 12pm - 5pm

Age 11-18? Then drop in for FREE within these times to chill or join our activities!

You can also join us in City Square with our award-winning pop up youth space The Zone

Anyone aged 11-18 can come and chill at 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 the button below and do them right now!

Once registered, your young person can check into both The Zone and Zone Go for FREE all summer long. There's no need to book activities – just turn up, check in, and get involved.

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, Zone Go 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.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE ZONE BEFORE?
✅ Turn up and check in - you’re already signed up!
🌈 Come as you are - our team are here to help

Use the toggles below to see what’s happening at Zone Go!

Anyone aged 11-18 can come and just chill in Zone Go, but a Registration Form must be completed before joining any organised activities. You can do the Registration now or we can send them to Parents and Carers when your young person arrives. There’s no need to book - just turn up!

Zone Go is your place to chill with your friends, create alongside artists, and be yourself—all for FREE! You can expect a welcoming vibe with no pressure to get involved or do any of the activities. You be you.

This programme is weather-dependent and subject to change.

Meet Our Artists

Meet the artists and organisations bringing Zone Go to life. From circus skills and DJing to dance, storytelling, zine making and creative Lego building, there's something new to discover every week. Drop in, have a go, and try something you might never have done before.

Abstract Circus CIC - Aerial Skills
Fancy joining the circus? Our high energy workshops give you the opportunity to defy gravity and try new skills. Aerial hoop and silks will test your strength, balance and brain. No experience is needed, tight active wear such as leggings and a T-Shirt is recommended along with socks. 

Amy O’Sullivan - Dance Jam
Get ready to move and groove in an energetic dance drop-in session at The Zone! Whether you’re a beginner or a confident mover, the session is all about self-expression, fun, and feeling the beat. Join Amy for dynamic moves, fresh choreography, and good vibes in a welcoming, creative space. Let’s dance it out and make some unforgettable moments this summer!

Dana Ilinca - Zine Making
Dana will guide people through cutting and folding zines, experimenting with different materials, and combining drawing, collage, and writing to explore different approaches to visual storytelling. Young people will be encouraged to communicate narratives and express their ideas on paper through zine-making

Kooth - Mental Health Outreach
Join Eloise’s calm activities, making zines and positive affirmation cards, and learn how Kooth can support you. Whatever you’re feeling, Kooth are here to help with free, safe and anonymous support.

Lincoln Book Festival - Short Story Workshop
Create your own super short 50-word story for Lincoln Book Festival's Flash Fiction Competition! This year's competition theme is “Hobbies”, inspired by the National Year of Reading 2026 “Go All In” campaign, designed to help more people across the UK rediscover the joy of reading. Prizes of £30 in book vouchers are up for grabs for the best short story (as selected by a panel of judges) submitted to the Lincoln Book Festival Flash Fiction Competition 2026.

Noise Academy - DJing
Drop the beat and learn to mix like a pro in these hands-on DJ workshops. Whether you’re brand new or already vibing, this is your chance to get loud and take the spotlight.

Tim Casson - Serious Lego Play
Build a Brilliant Birchwood (with Bricks!) - using the LegoⓇ Serious Play Method & Materials, join artist Tim Casson in re-imagining what we love about where we live, and how it might be even more awesome!
