Seniors Expo
Join us at the Brighton Town Hall Precinct for a fun and informative day out.
Connect with over 20 exhibitors and meet community groups and organisations delivering activities, programs and services in the Bayside area.
We have a range of exciting FREE activities for the whole family, including a coffee cart, sausages cooked by Brighton North Rotary Club, sweet treats from the Country Women’s Association, Chatty Café, live music performances, and a photo booth for our guests to have fun and capture photos as a reminder of the event that you can take home with you.
Whilst in the area, don’t forget to visit the Bayside Gallery, who are opening their doors for their Past Lives exhibition which highlights significant events and characters that have shaped Bayside’s past and Bayside U3A who will be holding an Open Day and Art and Craft show in the Brighton Courthouse.
