This year’s annual Ageing Well Brighton & Hove festival runs from Friday 27 September until Friday 11 October, with lots of opportunities for people aged 50 and over to explore new experiences and meet new people.
Councillor Tristram Burden, Cabinet member for Adult Social Care, Public Health and Service Transformation, said: “The Ageing Well festival celebrates Brighton & Hove as a city where we can age well, and highlights the range of activities taking place that help reduce isolation, improve health and increase wellbeing in later life.
“The fantastic events are examples of the year-round activities available for those looking to meet new people and stay active. Come along and try something new and see what is on offer in our vibrant city. There really is something for everyone.”
Last year’s festival boasted almost 150 events hosted by 74 different businesses and organisations, across 58 venues throughout the city.
The festival is produced by Impact Initiatives, working alongside the council, as well as voluntary sector organisations and local businesses.
