Opening in 2026, The Dome Youth Zone will be a vibrant, purpose-built space for Crewe’s young people — fizzing with energy and packed with state-of-the-art facilities. As a local charity, it’s designed to inspire, support, and empower the next generation. At its heart will be a team of dedicated, skilled youth workers who truly believe in young people; they will help them discover their potential and build their confidence, ambition, and skills to reach it. From sports and fitness to creative arts, music, and employability workshops, there’ll be something for everyone to get involved with and enjoy.
The Dome will be part of national charity Onside’s Network of Youth Zones
