The Pavilion is part of Gathering Ground, the collective name for several venues in Hillsborough Park which are managed by Age UK Sheffield. RivelinCo are the official creative partner for the spaces, so several of our activities take place there.
Fun Palaces Maker Workshop: North Sheffield
Do you…
- Live in Sheffield?
- Care about your community?
- Believe we all have something brilliant to share?
Join a free workshop to find out how you can make your own Fun Palace for and with your community – where everyone is an artist and everyone is a scientist!
Fun Palaces is hosting a workshop in collaboration with RivelinCo at Hillsborough Park Pavilion on 13 June, where people interested in making a Fun Palace event can meet. Whether you are a Fun Palace dab hand or a novice organiser, come along!
This workshop is open to all, and might be for you if:
– You want to find out more about Fun Palaces
– You have never been involved in organising before and want to start
– You're already involved in arts/science/culture and interested in new collaborations, and working with grassroots communities
– You have access to a venue and want people to use your space
– You've got an idea for an event and want support to make it happen
– You want to meet other people/organisations doing creative work linking culture and community
– None of the above, but you are curious!
What is a Fun Palace?
A Fun Palace is a free, local event where people share their skills, talents and interests with others in the local community. Over the last 10 years, almost 50,000 people have organised over 2,500 Fun Palace events. Organisations have thrown open their doors and invited in local people to organise the activities they want to do themselves. People have shared what they love with their neighbours – whether that’s art, science, sports, technology, history, crafts and more.
Over the past ten years Fun Palaces have seen it all – poetry reading, dancing, wild weaving, singing, kitchen science experiments, DIY, pinhole cameras, beekeeping, informative talks, language relays, meet the bearded dragon, DIY Hovercrafts, Lava lamp making and stage combat (to name just a few).
