Ware's the Fun Palace went intergalactic for #FunPalaces weekend with an out-of-this-world pop-up planetarium! 🌍🚀🌌 This is what community-led culture looks like: playful, curious, and full of stars — both in the sky and among the Makers. 🌟

🎉 Happy Birthday, Joan Littlewood! 🎉 Today we celebrate the incredible legacy of Joan Littlewood: radical theatre-maker, cultural trailblazer, and the original visionary behind the idea of #FunPalaces. Here’s to Joan, the mother of modern theatre and the spark behind it all.
