Workshops

Join our workshops!

You don’t need to be an expert in anything to make a Fun Palace – you just need to want to make something happen (however tiny) with and for the people that live around you. As the Fun Palaces annual weekend approaches we offer a range of free workshops on Zoom and in-person for you to take part in. You can come along to these and find out more, share ideas, and meet other Fun Palace Makers.

In-Person Workshops

Book a Workshop

You can also book a workshop with the Fun Palaces team. Fun Palaces workshops support organisations, venues, community groups and individuals to come together, to plan and develop useful links, skills-sharing and local networks.

While many people attending our workshops go on to make a local Fun Palace, we are delighted that the workshops also lead to other local connections and are key in supporting people to step up and take part.

We believe everyone can make a Fun Palace and our workshops welcome and support anyone, anywhere to create their local Fun Palace.
