Description

As part of Big Penny Social’s commitment to our local community, this year we’re taking part in Fun Palaces weekend.
Fun Palaces is a free, nationwide campaign for culture at the heart of community and community at the heart of culture. Each Fun Palace celebrates the unique skills and passions of local people – run by, for and with the local community. Since 2014 over 800,000 people have taken part.
 
 As part of the Fun Palaces weekend on Saturday 5th October we will be opening up the building and handing it over to anyone from the local community who wants to bring people together to run an activity.
 
Following a call out earlier this month, we’re delighted to host some community led activities next Saturday morning. These include a collaborative art play station for kids (and parents too!), a seated movement and dance workshop for beginners and a free board game drop in session.
 
All activities are FREE to take part in. You are welcome to turn up on the day, however we encourage signing up to the seated dance workshop here as places are limited.
 
If you wanted to put on an activity, session or community get together as part of Fun Palaces, its not too late! Drop us an email at events@bigpenny.co.uk .
