**Queer Britain**, the first LGBTQ+ museum in Britain, has joined a nationwide movement with a mission to celebrate culture and creativity in communities.

The **Queerest Fun Palace in Britain** is set to welcome the public on **Sunday, October 2** as part of **Fun Palaces** annual ***Weekend of Celebration***.

At Queer Britain, Granary Square, London, visitors of all ages can learn about LGBTQ+ heritage and culture in a family friendly environment and get creative with drawing, painting and clay workshops.

The *Queerest Fun Palace in Britain* is coordinated by **Dan Vo**, Head of Learning and Engagement at Queer Britain, with workshops to be run by children’s author, illustrator and founder of Pop’n’Olly **Olly Pike**, along with support from LGBTQ+ young people’s charity **Just Like Us**, which works to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ young people. The charity provides LGBTQ+ inclusive educational resources to help make school safer, happier and more welcoming places for all young people.

Dan Vo is a pioneer of queer representation and inclusion in the arts and culture sector having led on LGBTQ+ programmes at museums across the UK.

He said: “What I love about Fun Palaces is you give your space over to the community and they will tell you exactly what is wanted and needed from you. As a new museum, it’s a brilliant opportunity to connect with and listen to our community, while having fun.

“It will help set the tone for future community engagement and I am delighted Olly Pike and Just Like Us will be joining us as they are excellent champions of diversity, equality and inclusion.”
