Date: 1 March 2016

The 2016 NSW Seniors Festival marks 58 years and continues to set the benchmark as the biggest event program for seniors in the southern hemisphere.

The 2016 Seniors Festival theme, Grow Young, is about celebrating our seniors for their energy, experience and unique ability to know who they are, and what makes them happy. No matter what your age, it’s never too late to grow – to learn, to laugh and to be inspired.

The Whiddon Group will celebrate the NSW Seniors Festival with a range of events and activities between 1-10 April 2016. Come and visit us at the following events:
