Bookings Open for 2023 Seniors Festival

Published on 08 September 2023

Council is pleased to announce a full range of events to celebrate Seniors Festival in Mansfield Shire this year, which has been developed thanks to a grant from the Victorian Seniors Festival 2023. This year’s theme is Learn. Love. Live.

Running between 1 – 8 October, the line-up of events and activities consists of clay play workshops, Pilates, Yoga, and giveaways at The Little Shop of Good Reads.

A highlight of last year’s festival returns with the Seniors Ball at the Mansfield Golf Club on Thursday 5 October. This will include a two-course meal, live music, and dancing for just $15 per person. The event sold out last year with 60 in attendance, so early bookings are encouraged. 

Mayor Cr James Tehan said it was great to see Council’s Community Health & Wellbeing and Tourism & Events teams combining to provide a stimulating, engaging and fun line up of events.

“This festival will help our seniors remain engaged and connected within the community, and the funding enables Council to cover the cost of most of the events and to subsidise others so that they are affordable for everyone to participate,” he said.

“Our seniors have so much to share with us, so it’s great we can thank them with a week of activities for this year’s Seniors Festival.”

“We saw last year just how much they enjoyed the week and I anticipate all activities will book out quickly again.”

Places are limited and bookings are essential. Full details are available here or you can discuss the program in more detail with staff at the Visitor Information Centre on 5775 7000 between 10am and 4pm.
