The NSW Seniors Festival is making a grand return, promising a vibrant week packed with entertaining and cost-free events tailored for the young-at-heart individuals seeking connections and avenues for creative expression. Here at The Place, we've meticulously curated a series of complimentary events sure to enchant our senior community with their distinctive themes.


Upcycled Bottle Art Workshop 

Date: Monday 11th March 2023

Time: 11 am – 2 pm


Our Upcycled Bottle Art Workshop will provide seniors with the opportunity to explore their creative side. This hands-on workshop will help you transform ordinary glass bottles into works of art through upcycling techniques. Guided by a local artist Kelvin Dsouza, you will learn the art of repurposing and gain valuable insights into sustainable living. The workshop not only promotes environmental consciousness, but also fosters a sense of accomplishment as participants create unique pieces that reflect their individual style and imagination.


All materials, as well as a free lunch and refreshments will be provided.



Rock and Roll Morning Tea: Twist and Shout

Date: Tuesday 12th March 2024

Time: 10 am – 12 pm


Join us for a Rock and Roll Morning Tea for seniors, a lively event designed to transport you back in time to the golden era of jukeboxes and dance – 50s and 60s. You will find yourself grooving to the beats of classic R’N’R tunes while indulging in a delightful morning tea. We encourage you to wear your poodle skirt, leather jacket or slicked-back hair!  This event will surely be a nostalgic journey through time, encouraging everyone to twist and shout and celebrate the enduring spirit of rock and roll.

Time: 12 pm – 2.30 pm
