Unlock Youth Cafe
Let's hang out...
This is our Unlock Northwich home, where all activities take place.
Open twice a week @ The Hub, Forster Avenue, Weaverham, CW8 3BH.
Who is the cafe for?
The Unlock Youth Cafe is for young people between year 7 and 13 to come and hang out with friends, meet new people, chill and game with no need to spend any money. There is not a lot of low cost activities for young people to do in Weaverham or Northwich that is away from school or home, hence why we have created a space specifically for them, where they feel welcomed, valued and part of the Unlock youth community.
What can you do there?
We have air hockey, table football, pool table, board games, arts & crafts and video games. We also have a chill area with bean bags and sofas to just relax and hang out with friends. There are low-priced drinks and snacks (see menu above) catered to young people's tastes should they wish to purchase anything. We also have a tuck shop with Pringles and chocolate bars!
​
The cafe is an inspiring, stress-free, environment that facilitates times of focus, but also times of relaxation and fun.
Youth Cafe Days & Times
We have recently changed from a Thursday to a Friday and now are open longer on a Friday!
​
All youth from high school & college are welcome on Tuesdays and Fridays (4-6:30pm). But we have a brand new older youth zone on Fridays 6:30-8:30pm, for just years 9-13.
​
It's so much fun, and there's so much to do!

All @The Hub, Forster Avenue, Weaverham, CW8 3BH
We have a lot of other activities that go on in the cafe that promote wellbeing for our youth through learning new skills, talking through things with others, and getting active. See all our activities below.
Free Beginner Music lessons
We have free beginner lessons in guitar, keyboard or drums for youth in high school or college that want to learn a new skill! The lessons are 30 minutes a week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks, and will take place in the youth cafe.
​
Youth can come and hang out in the youth cafe before or after the lesson! Our tutors are young people themselves, talented at their instrument.
​
If interested, please contact us and we will match you up with a tutor, and agree on a weekly lesson time. If you have Facebook or Instagram, you can direct message us there @unlocknorthwich. If not, message us via Whatsapp on the Unlock Northwich number: 07476977035

Mental Wellbeing
Through posters around the cafe, and advertising through the schools, we explicitly offer support and encouraged for youth struggling at school to come in and chat to us. We will mainly be there to listen, but also to promote positive mental health where we can and give opportunities to make new friends.
