Membership opens for Preston’s new Vault Youth Zone - this is what it is and what it costs
Ahead of its much-anticipated opening in early 2026, young people can now sign up to be members of Preston’s new, multi-million pound Youth Zone.
Vault Youth Zone will offer first-class facilities for young people aged eight to 19, or up to 25 for those with additional needs. The purpose-built centre will include an indoor climbing wall, music room with built-in recording studio, dance and drama studio, arts and crafts room, sensory room, sports hall, indoor sports pitch, boxing studio and a fully equipped gym, alongside a wide range of activities and support delivered by skilled youth workers.
How much?
Membership costs £5 per year, with sessions priced at just 50p, ensuring the Youth Zone remains affordable and accessible for families across the city. Young people attending Vault will also be able to access nutritious hot meals for just £1.
While the full year of membership will only commence following Vault’s grand opening in 2026, signing up now will give members exclusive access to taster sessions early next year.
Where?
Located in Preston city centre on Tithebarn Street, directly opposite Preston Bus Station, Vault Youth Zone will be easy to reach for young people from across Preston and surrounding areas.
Tim Jacques, CEO of Vault Youth Zone said: “Opening membership is a hugely exciting milestone as we move closer to welcoming young people through our doors. Vault will be a place where young people feel safe, supported and inspired, with access to incredible facilities, opportunities and the chance to grow, create, connect, and thrive.”
Vault Youth Zone is an independent charity and continues to seek support for its annual running costs as momentum builds towards opening. The Youth Zone is part of the national OnSide network, known for high-quality youth facilities across the UK.
