Haringey’s Age Well Festival brings groups together to raise the profile of older people. Led by and for older people, we aspire to showcase skills, increase social connection and enable a better-informed older community. We look to promote intergenerational community building and deliver a joyful celebration of older residents. The Festival is themed around The Open University’s Take Five to Age Well.
Preparations for this year’s Age Well Festival are well underway with an exciting programme of activity planned. The event will take place on Saturday 20 September, 12 noon to 5pm.

Haringey’s First Age Well Festival took place in September 2024 at Bruce Castle Park and Museum. It was delivered by Haringey Council, Public Voice and North Central London’s Integrated Care System in partnership with Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle Museum and Archives, Code1, Disability Action Haringey, Haringey Reach and Connect, Oldalone UK and Pavilion, Sports and Café. The event was sponsored by Bluebird Care, Baily Garner, Public Health, Haringey GP Federation and One You Haringey.
A range of performances, creative and physical activities and wellbeing sessions took place across the site, which featured Connect, Create, Eat Well, Physical Activity and Think Well Zones as well as a Main Stage and Wellbeing Dome. The event also included a Guest Zone at the Pavilion Café for attendees with access requirements and encompassed Bruce Castle Museum’s Open House programme. The event opened with a Purple Parade, led by poet, musician and storyteller Abe Gibson, featuring banners and an array of purple costumes. The Parade was received by the Mayor of Haringey, who officially opened the event.
