Welcome to 224 Youth Zone – Where Potential Shines
Opening in 2026, 224 Youth Zone is set to become South Bristol’s premier destination for young people to explore, connect, and grow. Construction of the new Youth Zone will soon begin on land adjacent to Hartcliffe Inns Court Open Space. We believe in the power of youth work to transform lives and create brighter futures.
A Space for Everyone
224 Youth Zone is more than just a youth centre – it’s a place where young people aged between eight and 19 – and up to 25 for those with additional needs – can discover their passions and unlock their potential. Our state-of-the-art facilities will offer over 20 different activities, from sports like football, boxing, and climbing to creative arts, music, drama, and even employability training.
It’s rooted in years of local youth work, which you may know as Youth Moves – 224 Youth Zone is the same organisation, with a new name chosen by young people. You’ll still find the same open access youth work you might already be familiar with. More information here.
The Youth Zone will be staffed by dedicated, skilled youth workers. They believe in the potential of every young person, providing support and encouragement to help them achieve their dreams. Whether it’s through a casual conversation or a structured activity, our youth workers are here to support and inspire.
224 is designed to be a vibrant, energetic hub where young people can engage in meaningful activities. From learning new skills to making lifelong friends, this is a place where everyone belongs and everyone is given the chance to shine.
Building Brighter Futures Together
224 Youth Zone is part of OnSide’s national network of Youth Zones, bringing together the community, local authorities, and private business leaders to support young people. We believe that when we invest in the next generation, we invest in a better future for all.
