Celebrate International Day of the Older Person with the community this year at ‘A Day at the Village.’

Showing some appreciation for our parents, grandparents, kaumātua, friends and neighbours, The Incubator Creative Hub and the Historic Village are hosting ‘A Day at the Village’ on Tuesday, October 3.

“It’s just a really great opportunity for us to acknowledge older people in our community –kaumātua, retired people and the wealth of talent and skills they have and the part they play in our communities,” The Incubator's director of support & project development, Marama Mateparae.

This community event will be jam packed with different events and activities for seniors, as well as programmes that grandparents and grandkids can enjoy together. The day will start off with a delightful morning tea at 9.45am, where people can then take part in art workshops, singalong sessions, tai chi demonstrations, informative chats for seniors, admire art exhibitions, explore whakapapa, head to the Village Cinema and more!

Marama says she is looking forward to the community coming together for the event.  “I love it when people get a chance to make connections and meet new people so I’m really hoping that people will come down and join in.”

Running from 9.45am-3pm at the Historic Village, ‘A Day at the Village’ will be held on Tuesday, October 3. For more info and programme details visit: https://www.theincubator.co.nz/whats-on/a-day-at-the-village-event.
