𝐘𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒
From live music to exercise, and making new friends while enjoying cream teas, Yate Ageing Better Festival 2024 had it all!
The fourth annual event hosted by Yate Town Council and friends showcased rich and diverse community activities aimed to help us all age better. The sunshine warmly welcomed over 55 stallholders and 500 visitors – the biggest event yet.
Joyous singing from local choirs and musicians filled the air, free performances and activities, including exercise classes, had us in and out of our seats; free goodies and Pop Inn Café alfresco dining for £3.50 ensured all could join in with the festival spirit!
Strolling from stall-to-stall, visitors had an abundance of friendly conversations and took away information, advice and guidance on topics such as health and wellbeing, volunteering, social clubs, community activities, arts and crafts, mobility, sustainable travel, personal safety and a host of other helpful solutions for living well at any age.
Mayor of Yate, Councillor Ben Nutland, said:
“It was great to see Yate Ageing Better return for its fourth year and its biggest one yet. The festival is always a highlight in the community calendar, and I would like to say a huge thank you to the organisers, stallholders, volunteers and visitors, for making it a fantastic day!”
Yate Town Council gives special thanks to their event partners Yate Shopping Centre, Yate Active Lifestyle Centre, and the wonderful volunteers at the Pop Inn Café, as this event would not have been possible without their support and generosity.
