Welcome to Age & Opportunity’s Arts & Cultural Programme!

Age & Opportunity is the national organisation inspiring people to lead healthy and fulfilling lives as they age.  Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, Age & Opportunity has established itself as a global leader in the area of creativity and ageing.  We are delighted to offer you a wide range of creative opportunities throughout the year ranging from a month long festival celebrating creativity as we age ‘Bealtaine’ to projects and programmes tailored to specific audiences e.g. ‘Azure’ for people with dementia and their carers.

We believe that whether 8 or 80 years old, we all should have access and opportunities to take part in the Arts. We look forward to sharing the experience with you!
