NSW Seniors Festival
Celebrate ‘Summer Of Fun’ with Woollahra Seniors Festival 2023
There is only one place to be for the NSW Seniors Festival 2023 and that is Woollahra!
If you are over 60, Woollahra Seniors Festival gives you the chance to make new friends or get together with old ones at an array of local community programs.
From 1 to 23 February, Woollahra Council in partnership with local community organisations will host a range of free and low cost events and activities to celebrate Seniors.
The not to be missed opening of our Seniors Festival will involve a Sunset Concert at the beautiful Redleaf with light refreshments to be served. Enjoy listening to some jazz and classical pieces performed by SCEGGS Darlinghurst and Woollahra Philharmonic Orchestra members as the sun sets over our beautiful Sydney harbour.
Other fun and exciting events and workshops include Dance Chair Yoga, Poetica Petit, Kokedama Workshop, Tech Savvy Seniors, Still Life Photography and a not to be missed tour of the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf.
Please find below your detailed program of events taking place in and around Woollahra between 1-23 February 2023.
