This Fun Palace event was made possible by the collective efforts of many local people who are eager to share and celebrate their skills with the community. It's an opportunity for residents to master new skills, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones while celebrating the passions and enthusiasms of our diverse community.
Councillor Sarah Gallagher, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture, said, speaking about the event, said, "Fun Palaces show the amazing talent and enthusiasm that thrives within our local community. It's a day where we come together to share, learn, and celebrate the extraordinary skills and passions of our residents."
Fun Palaces is an ongoing national campaign dedicated to nurturing and supporting the potential and positivity of sharing people's enthusiasms, passions, and skills with their own local community.
