There were smiles all round on Saturday 21st April as Inspire Youth Zone celebrated registering its 1000th member, two weeks before the Youth Zone is due to open.

The milestone came this weekend as over 600 people visited the brand-new £4.8million Inspire Youth Zone, at the residents open day.

Young people and their families were left feeling truly inspired by the fantastic range of quality activities on offer for young people. From indoor climbing to dance, drama to boxing, music to media, there is something available for everyone at Inspire Youth Zone.

From 1pm – 5pm, guests took part in a wide range of engaging activities, toured the brand-new facilities, met the friendly staff team and learnt more about what the Youth Zone has on offer for young people.

The event ended on a high as Rosie Price was announced as the 1000th member to register and was awarded a very special prize – a sleepover at the Youth Zone for her and friends. Rosie was thrilled to be named the 1000th member and is already looking forward to visiting Inspire again.

Inspire Youth Zone will open officially on Saturday 5th May, open to the public from 12:30pm – 3pm, the free family-friendly event will provide the community with the opportunity to see what Inspire will offer young people. From 4pm – 10pm the Youth Zone will be open to young people aged 12-19 only, providing them with the opportunity to experience the Youth Zone offer.
