Following last year's popular event, we are delighted to announce that ElderFest will once again take place in October 2026. The event will be held at GodFirst Church, Christchurch BH23 3TG on Tuesday 27 October from 10am-3pm, and promises to be another day full of inspiration, advice and fun.

​​

Over 50 local organisations will be joining us this year, giving visitors the chance to explore a wide range of services and activities that support older people in leading active, fulfilling lives. From health and wellbeing resources to social groups and lifestyle opportunities, the event aims to showcase the services available right here in our local community.

​​

The day will include:

​

• Over 50 stalls and information stands showcasing local services for local people

• Free tech support from Wise Guys

• Free health checks from the Health Science University

• NHS vaccination clinic

• Programme of talks covering topics including home fire safety and money advice from Citizens Advice

• Free refreshments generously provided by Colten Care and Barchester Healthcare

• A space where carers can leave their 'cared for' relative with support, so they can fully engage themselves.

​

Parking is available at the venue and transport can also be provided from within Christchurch – just get in touch with the CCP team on 01202 989632 to find out more.​

ElderFest is organised by Christchurch Community Partnership in partnership with Christchurch Primary Care Network, PramaLife, and BCP Age Friendly Communities.​​
