Senior Times is back

The Senior Times Live! event is bringing back the fun after nearly 3 years.

City Hall will see the return of what is described as the vibrant lifestyle experience for older people. The event will be back on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 November from 11am-5pm. According to the organisers, this free event for retired and older people has something to interest everyone and will feature over 50 stalls as well as talks, workshops, cooking demonstrations, wine-tasting, bridge tuition, health screenings, musical entertainment, and exercise classes.

One of the stars of the event will be Eric Knowles, known to millions for his appearances on BBC’s ‘Antiques Roadshow’ for over 30 years.

Another collector’s expert Mike Kelly will also be offering free valuations of coins, stamps, medals and banknotes. At a recent Senior Times Live! Event, the organisers said, Mike Kelly spotted a group of coins worth €30,000.

There will be an opportunity for beginners to learn bridge as well as tips for more experienced players.

Christmas cooking demonstrations will also be a popular featured of the event as the festive season approaches and wine experts will be offering suggestions to accompany the Christmas meals.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Cork Male Voice Choir while UCC Professor Des McHale will be examining the Cork sense of humour in his presentation.
