A MUCH-loved community event in Thornbury is due to return next month.
Thornbury Fun Palace will take place on Saturday, October 5 with various activities at St Mary Centre, the library, Thornbury Leisure Centre and the Pod by the Thornbury Skatepark.
The event - which is now in its fourth year - aims to celebrate the skills, passions and cultures of local people.
Last year’s event included 22 different free activities across 12 different locations across the town.
Some of the activities included graffiti spraying, yoga, Lego making, street dance, live music, craft, photography demonstrations, family history, bike servicing, a photo booth and storytime.
An organiser said: “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.
“Come and enjoy fun, free activities aimed at the whole community and all age groups.
“This year we will see the return of some popular activities from Thornbury Library, Panache Steel band, Thornbury Leisure Centre and youth-led fun at JIGSAW Thornbury.”
This year’s event will take place between 10am to 2pm on Saturday, October 5.
Anyone wishing to get involved in this year’s event should contact thornburyfunpalaces@jigsawthornbury.org.uk
