The Dome Youth Zone to open this month

From an empty building to a place full of life, Crewe’s brand-new Youth Zone launches this month.

The Dome, Crewe’s new state-of-the-art Youth Zone, will officially open its doors to young people, families and the wider community on Saturday 28th November, marking the start of a new chapter for the town’s young people.

The £14m landmark, on the site of the former Oak Street car-park, will bring a wealth of opportunity to young people from Crewe and surrounds.

Local people have watched the development take shape throughout 2026.

Built for Crewe and shaped by the people who live here, The Dome will give young people aged 8 – 19 or up to 25 for young people with SEND a safe, welcoming place to go, with over 20 activities every session for £3 a month including a hot meal every visit (excluding partnerships night).

The official opening follows the launch of membership on 6th October, with regular sessions starting on 30^th November.

The Grand Opening will begin at 11am, when the doors will open to the community, with families, supporters and young people invited in for the official opening and a series of tailored speeches.

The ribbon will be cut at noon, followed by an afternoon of free exploring of the building’s facilities.

Inside The Dome, young people will be able to explore the incredible facilities on offer including a gym, boxing area, 35ft climbing wall and a training kitchen, supported by a team of dedicated and skilled youth workers.
