So if you didn't already know, the first Sydenham Fun Palace event takes place this coming weekend - Sat 6 & Sun 7 Oct - at four venues around Sydenham: Sydenham Community Library, Sydenham Centre, The Grove Centre and TNG Youth Centre.
So what is a Fun Palace?
A Fun Palace is an opportunity for a community to share its skills and talents by offering free activities to all who come along. With the emphasis on the arts and science - and everything in between - a Fun Palace is much more than just a fete or an open-day.
Originated by Joan Littlewood at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in the 1950s the concept was revived a few years ago and Fun Palaces have been happening across the country ever since.
