Seniors Festival 2024

Published on 01 November 2024

Seniors in Mansfield Shire were treated to a range of events and activities across October 2024 in celebration of Seniors Festival.

Council’s event program featured pottery workshops with MAD Potters, a chance to travel the world through virtual reality, afternoon teas, an armchair travel session exploring Japan, a visit to the High Country Gardens, Gallery and Maze and a night out at the Mansfield Golf Club with music from Abbasession.

Council also supported the Mansfield Men’s Shed, Friends of Mansfield Library and the Mansfield Spring Club to create a range of free and low-cost events and activities.

All activities were supported with funding from the Department of Families Fairness and Housing’s Victorian Seniors Festival 2024 program. The 2024 event theme was ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve.’
