The Zone

The Zone in a town centre

This is The Zone, a pop-up youth space for 11-18 year olds.

The Zone by Zest Theatre comes to Mansfield for the first time!

There's something for everyone at The Zone—and guess what? It's all FREE! From laidback hangouts to high-energy workshops with pro artists and cosy book corners to adrenaline-pumping parties, it's your call what you do!

Join us in 2025 for free activities, giveaways, and a welcoming vibe, all inspired by the ideas of young people just like you. 

The Zone is your place to chill, create, and be yourself!

ABOUT ZEST
Zest exists to make space for young people to be heard, using creativity to amplify their voices through theatre and cultural experiences.
 
Established in 2007, we make a range of work for theatres, festivals, public spaces, and schools. Our multi-award-winning work has been described as ‘unpretentious’ (The Stage) and ‘essential’  (The Guardian). Our productions and installations actively place the audience right at the heart
of the story.
 
We are passionate about amplifying the voices of young people, creating productions, digital pieces, and public art installations inspired by the needs, lives and imaginations of those aged under 25. Our work releases the voice of a generation to make the world a better, and more creative,  place.
 
We have eclectic tastes and love creating bold new ideas – this means that there is no such thing as a ‘Zest Style’; each of our projects are very different. However, innovation, joy, empowerment and accessibility are integral to everything we produce, creating a DNA that is unmistakably
Zest’s.
 
Zest Theatre is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and are Associate Artists at Lincoln Arts Centre.
