How YOU can take part in this year’s Fun Palace!

Saturday 5th October, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon 

A Fun Palace is a free, annual event made by local people for their own community, celebrating creativity and culture, and we’re taking part! 

We’re looking for individuals or groups willing to share their skills, passions and interests to show the world just how brilliant our community is! 

All ideas are welcome: you could host a board game, get people painting or crafting, run a dance workshop, lead a nature walk – the possibilities are truly endless! Remember it needs to be inclusive, hands-on where possible, and above all FUN! 

Visit: www.funpalaces.co.uk to get a feel for what this event is all about then send us a brief outline of what you would like to offer to: communityhub@stratfordtowntrust.co.uk by Monday 5th August 2024.

Stick to approximately 500 words or a 5-minute video. Alternatively, if you want to talk about your idea in person, let us know as we can arrange a chat. Spaces are limited so we will let you know shortly after we receive all submissions. 

There will also be a chance to take part in our live grant making session as part of the Fun Palace with a chance to receive £1000 funding, voted by the public on the day. The funds should go towards an activity which benefits your local community.

See below for terms and conditions. 

To take part in the live grant making session, you must:  

  • Be a registered charity, not-for profit group or Community Interest Company. In some circumstances, we may consider supporting an individual – please do speak to us if you are an individual with a fantastic, fun community idea.  
  • Be based in Stratford-upon-Avon or be able to demonstrate that your work and idea benefits residents of Stratford-upon-Avon. 
  • Be prepared to give us a brief overview and evidence of how the funds were used.
