We're joining forces with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Stratford-upon-Avon Library for the return of the annual Fun Palace on 7th October. The event is part of Fun Palaces 2023, a free, nationwide celebration of arts and culture.
All activities are free and take place from 10am - 3pm at each venue. The event is suitable for all ages and participants can collect stamps at any of the locations to receive free refreshments kindly provided by the Crowne Plaza. The trail is designed to allow people to drop in at any time and visit one location or all, though sessions at Stratford-upon-Avon Library are run at specific times throughout the day.

Mary Lee, Community Hub Manager said: “Working in partnership with these brilliant organisations in Stratford gives everyone the chance to have a go at being creative, trying something new and most importantly, have fun!”
Each Fun Palace celebrates the unique skills and passions of local people – run by, for and with the local community. Since 2014 over 45,000 people have made 2500 Fun Palaces with 800,000 people taking part. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Fun Palaces Weekend of Celebration.
