The exclusive event just for 11 - 18s

📍 Newark Market Place
🗓 10 - 13 July 2025 – part of Newark Book Festival
🎟 Totally free!

Something big is landing in Newark… and it’s all about YOU.

This July, The Zone is popping up in town! This FREE space is for young people aged 11–18 to chill, create, and just be themselves. Think music, games, books, creative workshops, places to relax, and good vibes all round. Whether you're into art, theatre, tech, or just want a place to hang out with mates - this is your time and your space!

Run by Zest Theatre, who specialise in making bold, exciting work with young people at its heart, The Zone is all about making your voice heard and giving you space to be you.

Drop in after school or over the weekend, stay as long as you like, and bring your mates. No pressure. No cost. Just don't forget to register and get your parent or guardians consent to take part in the activities! Sign up here at getinthezone.uk.

The Zone is developed by Zest Theatre, AirClad and Inflate, and made possible thanks to support from Newark Creates at Newark Book Festival, Historic England, the Million Hours Fund, The National Lottery Community Fund, Lincolnshire Co-op and Lincoln Arts Centre.
