WA seniors' week offers free events across western suburbs
Three western suburbs councils are running free festivals in November with markets, exercise classes, ballet and breakfast events for older residents.
Western suburbs councils are celebrating older people with free events in November across Mosman Park, Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove. The Mosman Park Men's Shed market on 8 November at Tom Perrott Reserve will have more than 60 stalls, live music, food trucks and Devonshire teas.
A morning tea at Mosman Park Bowling Club follows on 9 November. New this year: seated ballet classes at Cottesloe Civic Centre for four Tuesdays from 10 November.
Gentle exercise classes, art sessions and hearing tests are on offer. The North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club will finish with breakfast and a show by the Cottesloe Crooners on 20 November.
Perth's number of older people aged 85 and over will more than double by 2050, so councils are preparing now.
