It could be crafting, music, sport, science, gardening, storytelling, technology, wellbeing or something completely different!

You could run an activity, workshop or demonstration and give people in our community the chance to try something new, learn a skill and connect with others.

It’s also a great opportunity to share what you do, meet local people and be part of a fantastic community event.

Plans are well underway for our annual Thornbury Fun Palace this October, and we’re now looking for creative, innovative and inspiring people to join our line-up of activity providers.

To take part, you’ll need to offer a free, hands-on activity for the community to enjoy. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase what you do, share your skills, and connect with new people in a fun and welcoming setting.

Activities ranged from coding workshops and woodland clay art to storytelling, music, sport and crafts — creating a vibrant day full of curiosity, creativity and community spirit.

We’re open to all ideas — whether it’s crafting, music, science, gardening, storytelling, technology, games, wellbeing or something completely unique.
