We have exciting events happening throughout the day alongside stalls with crafts, activities and information, all run by local groups.

Inspired by their multi-year theme, the Women Who Made Shakespeare, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust invites audiences to take part in a creative writing workshop outside the Birthplace with local writer Lucy Parrott. They can also try their hand at quill writing.

“We believe in the genius in everyone, in everyone an artist and everyone a scientist, and that creativity in community can change the world for the better.” – Fun Palace website

This Fun Palace is for us all.  It’s about Stratford coming together, sharing our skills, and learning something new.  It’s about the things we enjoy doing together and making our community shine.
