🎨🔬🎭 Could You Be Part of Mansfield Fun Palace 2026? 🎭🔬🎨

This October, Mansfield Museum will once again be hosting a Fun Palace – a free, community-led day of creativity, learning, sharing and discovery.

We're looking for artists, scientists, performers, makers, crafters, community groups, and anyone with a skill, hobby, passion or interest they'd like to share with others.

Fun Palaces are all about having a go, trying something new, and celebrating the amazing creativity and knowledge that exists within our community. We believe that everyone is an artist and everyone is a scientist.

Whether you'd like to run an activity, demonstrate a skill, perform, tell stories, share a collection, or inspire curiosity, we'd love to hear from you.
