Held six times a year, Neo is a free after-hours event for young people aged 13-17 years

Step into Neo Technicolour relive the magic of nostalgia with a night full of retro-inspired vibes—think badge-making, fairy floss, and feel-good tunes—plus live music, art workshops, and all the pizza you can handle. Bring your friends (or make new ones) and soak up the colour!
