We’re excited to announce that Mansfield Museum will be hosting a Fun Palace this October!

Fun Palaces are all about celebrating creativity, community and culture — and everyone’s invited to get involved. It’s a nationwide movement that believes in the power of everyday people to make extraordinary things happen through art, science, storytelling, craft, performance, and more.

On the day, the museum will be transformed into a space full of drop-in activities, workshops, performances and hands-on fun — all led by local people, artists, and groups from our community.

Whether you're painting a tiny canvas, exploring the stars, joining a storytelling session, making something from recycled materials, or simply soaking up the atmosphere — there’ll be something for all ages and interests.

👥 Want to Get Involved?

We’re looking for local creatives, makers, scientists, performers, and community groups who’d like to run an activity or share a skill. If you have something to offer — no matter how big or small — we’d love to hear from you!

👉 Email: ksanders@mansfield.gov.uk to get involved.

This is a free, inclusive, and informal event, and a great opportunity to try something new, meet others, and celebrate the talents of our brilliant local community.

Come and be part of it — everyone an artist, everyone a scientist.
