Over 60? Swim, dance, and play free in March

Make new friends, try something new, and get active with free and discounted events happening across our local area this Seniors Festival

Here are 5 things to enjoy if you’re 60 and older.

Swim and exercise free

• Make a splash at one of our world-class aquatic centres. Pools will open their doors free of charge to City of Sydney residents over 55 for swimming and exercise classes.

• Fire up for some friendly competition at a table tennis tournament or join a walking group and explore a different part of the city.

• Try something for your wellbeing while sitting still. A sound bath and meditation session will immerse you in the soothing hum of singing bowls.

Show off your style

• Get dressed up in your most stylish outfit for the older adults fashion and styling showcase!

• Work with a fashion consultant to create your own unique look before getting tips and touch-ups from make-up artists and hair stylists. You could be modelling creations by sewing teachers and students, and strutting alongside retired supermodels.

Just dance!

• Let two dance artists lead you through this workshop combining sound, movement, and improvisation using Airsticks, a digital instrument. Or join a movement and dance class for Chinese and English speakers.

• Rather be sitting in the audience? Join a Seniors Festival celebration at Ron Williams Community Centre and enjoy live music and entertainment.

Make some new friends

• Make new friends or catch up with old ones over pancakes, board games, high tea, or dinner and a stroll around the city centre.
