TAKEOVER FESTIVAL 2025 saw over 2000 people come through the doors of what was for the day, Mansfield's BIGGEST youth led Festival.

The unused shopping unit at Four Seasons Shopping Centre was transformed by groups of young people and thier artists under the leadership of Nonsuch Studios and an incredible team of young budding volunteers from Nottingham Trent Univeristy.

Together we turned an empty space into a jam-packed celebration of young peoples creativity and ideas. From a photography exhibition, to immersive exhibitions, countless workshops and activities, theatre performances, photo opportunities, mocktail making, a surf simulator and a silent disco, TAKEOVER 2025 really delivered BIG on creativity!

Outside in the shopping Mall on the TAKEOVER stage, local performance groups shared there talents with 100's of shoppers!
