Seniors Week 2024

Join QVMAG for Seniors Week and enjoy a range of activities and events that celebrate this year's theme, Connecting generations.
We are thrilled to offer a diverse and engaging activity program designed to celebrate and honour our senior residents. Throughout the week, participants can look forward to a variety of activities tailored to different interests and abilities, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among attendees.
In recognition of Senior's Week coinciding with Children's Week — and to honour this year's theme, Connecting generations — we are also holding two workshops where grandchildren and grandparents can collaborate and create a beautiful artwork together.
All activities are designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating varying levels of mobility and health to ensure inclusivity and accessibility.
Seniors Week aims to enrich the lives of our senior residents, providing opportunities to learn new skills, make new friends, and celebrate their invaluable contributions to our community.
Registrations are essential for all workshops and shows, free and ticketed. See below for details.
