People in Dudley borough will be able to enjoy a series of fun and helpful events this autumn, dedicated to celebrating a fitter and happier later life.

Following the success of the first Ageing Well Festival in 2023, the events will run from 29 September to 5 October.

Residents aged 40 and over are invited to take part in more than 100 activities designed to support wellbeing, social connection, and active lifestyles in later life.

The activities will be hosted by community groups and organisations and are taking place in different venues across the borough, with some sessions needing to be pre-booked.

The programme includes a mix of informative and interactive sessions on crafts, exercise, digital skills, wellness and more.

The full programme of events taking place during the Ageing Well Festival is available on the Healthy Dudley website.
