In this podcast, we meet librarian Zoey Dixon who will tell you all about why Fun Palaces are so perfect suited to libraries. About Fun Palaces Stella Duffy and Sarah-Jane Rawlings co-founded Fun Palaces in 2013 to create a celebration of Joan Littlewood's centenary on the 6th October 2014. As more communities, individuals and organisations across the UK asked if they could join in, it quickly became clear that it was never going to be a one-off. Developed from Joan Littlewood and Cedric Price's never-built 1960s vision of one building for all arts and science, free to the local community of the East End, the 21st century Fun Palaces is about reclaiming public space, encouraging cultural venues to throw open their doors, shining a light on unsung community activism and supporting local people to step up to co-create their own community events. Learning from the communities that take part every year, Fun Palaces has changed and grown, and is now as varied as the people who take part. In the UK and beyond, Fun Palaces are happening in lots of different shapes and sizes - in garden in Orkney, on streets and parks in London, on a village fence post in North Wales, a canal towpath in Sheffield, a travelling wheelbarrow in Mansfield, and even on a boat off the coast of Cornwall.
