The popular Thornbury Fun Palace event will return on Saturday 5th October. This will be the 4th year of the event, which brings people together to celebrate what their community has to offer.
Fun Palaces are community events celebrating the skills, passions and cultures of local people. It is an event run by, for, and with the community. 
The event is being planned by a team of co-producers representing our community and all of the activities at the event will be led by people and organisations volunteering to share something they love with local people.
Everyone was able to join in and discover something new at the 2023 event with 22 fun, free activities happening across 12 locations around Thornbury. Thornbury Library stated that they had already had the amount of visitors they would usually have had thoughout the whole day, by 11am that morning.
One Thornbury resident commented “It’s been a really lovely day, well done to everyone involved, I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to the next one”.
This year the event will take place at St Mary Centre, Thornbury Leisure Centre and the Pod by the Thornbury Skatepark.
