About this event
The Ageing Well Festival is a two-week celebration of events and activities tailored for individuals aged 50 and above, taking place at various venues across Brighton & Hove.
Coinciding with the United Nations designated International Day of Older Persons on October 1st, this festival has been organised by Impact Initiatives, on behalf of Brighton and Hove City Council, since 2013. With a packed and diverse programme of events, the festival aims to inspire older individuals to actively participate in the vibrant Brighton & Hove community.
Last year’s festival featured almost 150 events hosted by 74 different businesses and organisations, across 58 venues throughout the city. From old favourites like vintage Routemaster bus trips, to new activities such as cooking with Momma Cheri and a sunset boat trip with Sussex Dolphin Society, there is a wide variety to suit different lifestyles.
In total, over 4,000 people participated in the festivities in 2024.
