Make the most of senior fun

Seniors will be spoilt for choice in St Albans next Saturday, when the Bowery Theatre hosts two events for elders to enjoy.

Saturday, October 26 will mark a full day of intergenerational activities that include free pampering, food, art and conversation.

From 11am to 2pm, The Treasures project will take place, featuring seven seniors who have been interviewed by inquisitive young people.

They will tell stories of what has been loved and lost, surviving wars, poverty, migration, hard work and extraordinary changes over 100 years.

Also at the Bowery from 11am to 12.10pm, seniors are encouraged to celebrate the incredible life and music of the Forces Sweetheart.

Bringing to life the music from the 40’s to 60’s, the concert is full of insightful facts and music to have attendees laughing and singing along.

Entry is free, but bookings are required: trybooking.com/events/landing/1262217
