The award-winning pop-up youth space returns to Lincoln for summer 2025 with a whole host of activities on City Square.

There’s something for everyone at The Zone. And the best bit? It’s all free! From chilled hangouts and high-energy workshops with pro artists to gaming, cosy book corners, live shows and summer parties.

Anyone aged 11-18 can come and chill in The Zone, but a parent or carer will need to submit a registration form first. 

Once you submit the form, your young person will be added to our system so they can check into The Zone for free during open hours. No need to book, just turn up!

Visit Zest’s website to find out more about The Zone and to register your young person
