5 Taster Activities
These are our 5 taster activities, some of which are part of this year’s
Ageing Well Festival. Booking is essential. So please contact us on
01273 688 117 or [email protected] if you are
interested in coming along.
Silver Gamers: Dungeons & Dragons
A story-based adventure where you and your fellow adventurers
choose what happens. It's geeky, but it's the ancient art of
storytelling at its most fun.
This is classic D&D, but you can play any kind of adventure: murder
mystery, space drama, horror and many others. We'll provide the
adventure - you just have to bring a desire to try something new.
@ The Larches Cafe, Coldean Wed 2nd Oct 2 pm - 4 pm
@ Hazelholt, Portslade Wed 9th Oct 2 pm - 4 pm
Silver Gamers: Have A Go!
If you think games are for kids then you’re missing the fun! Some
reports show many gamers are over 50! It’s not all crash, bang and
wallop. It can be whatever you want it to: Mysteries, puzzles, quizzes,
fitness, social. Hundreds of amazing games and even virtual reality
sight-seeing. Play alone, with friends, at home or online.
We'll show you how, just come along and have some fun trying
something new.
@ Water May, Whitehawk Thu 10th Oct From 2 pm - 5 pm
@ Hazelholt, Portslade Wed 23rd Oct From 2 pm - 5 pm
1 to 3 hours, depending on how much fun you're having
5
What do we call this?
Play for grown-ups. A fun journey through themes and ideas, with
unusual props, music, storytelling, exploring your creative side.
Perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with ideas. We know its
fun and people enjoy it, we just don’t know what to call it!
@ Laburnum Grove, Hollingdean Fri 4th Oct - 11 am to 12:30 pm
@ Larches Café, Coldean Wed 9th & 16th Oct - 2 pm to 3:30 pm
@ Dorset Gardens MC, Brighton Fri 11th Oct - 11 am to 12:30 pm
Snacking on Shakespeare
A short, sweet look at Shakespeare with Julian Curry, an actor with
lifelong experience performing Shakespeare including with the RSC
and National Theatre. Be led through the emotions and language of
our famous playwright. All you need is yourself and an interest in
drama. ‘All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely
players’. Will you join us?
@ Fabrica, Brighton
Tue 8th / Tue 15th / Tue 22nd October From 2 pm to 4 pm
Singing for Life
No experience needed - or ability to sing! This joyful session will get
you singing great songs, thoroughly enjoying good tunes and having a
laugh. Two professional singers with experience in leading groups will
take you through this fun session. So release the music in you and
sing on into Autumn!
@ The Vale, Queen's Park
Mon 7th / Mon 14th / Mon 21st October From 2:30pm to 4:30 pm

Healthlink
On the following pages we list our activities alphabetically and
grouped by venue, but first we want to tell you about our
other local project. Our HealthLink volunteers accompany
people living in Brighton and Hove City
that are 50+ to GP, hospital, dentist and
other important routine health
appointments.
The project aims to improve the well-being of older people
who are isolated or whose friends and family cannot help
them get to their healthcare appointments. As well as
reducing cancellations, missed health appointments and the
need for unplanned visits. There is no charge.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in our support
then please get in touch on 01273 688 117
or email [email protected]
“It’s good to have someone with you, it gives
me a bit of confidence.”
