WHAT IS ‘SQUARE’ AND ‘CENTRAL’?
Luminosity at Sixty One is THE EVENT for all ages of young people from 11-18, the names of the two venues don’t really matter! We want our young leaders to be able to spend time with each other: learning, mentoring one another, listening and supporting others whichever venue they are in. We’ve got the snug (café), central (for 11 to 13 year olds) and square (for 14 to 18 year olds). Don’t be limited by a venue name – branch out and talk to everyone at Luminosity. You’ll be amazed at the places and people that teach you the most!
CAN YOUNG ADULTS AT SIXTY ONE ACCESS LUMINOSITY AT SIXTY ONE?
Luminosity, like any venue for young people, has safeguarding procedures in place that will limit access to adults. Only adults on the Luminosity at Sixty One team or youth leaders bringing youth, registered in advance and in possession of a youth leader Luminosity at Sixty One ticket, will get a Luminosity at Sixty One wristband and access to venues. Venue Hosts will not grant access to anyone without a Luminosity at Sixty One wristband.
