Stratford Fun Palace gets creative for tenth anniversary

BOLLYWOOD dancing, drumming and graffiti are all lined up for the ten year anniversary of the Fun Palace in Stratford.

The annual event, run in partnership between Stratford Town Trust, Warwickshire Libraries and Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, takes place on Saturday October 5.

And for this extra special year, marking a decade of creative people coming together to share their skills, a whole host of activities are planned for all ages.

At the Crowne Plaza on Bridge Foot there will be events by local groups including a chance to learn how to Bollywood dance, beat a drum, sing, create graffiti art and explore a fire engine.




Alternatively, visitors can just sit back with a cuppa and enjoy the company.

Stratford Library will be hosting performances by local school choirs, a drop-in singing workshop for adults and children aged eight and over and a community Shakespeare reading of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.


And the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, inspired by its multi-year theme, the Women Who Made Shakespeare, is inviting audiences to take part in a creative writing workshop outside the birthplace in Henley Street with local writer Lucy Parrott.

They can also try their hand at quill writing.
