Rebecca Pow, Member of Parliament for Taunton Deane will be holding a special Fair for residents of a certain age across Taunton Deane on Saturday 1st October (National Older Peoples Day).

The ‘National Older Peoples Day Fair’ is being held to raise awareness of the plethora of activities, hobbies, services, volunteering opportunities and much more besides which are available across Taunton Deane as we get older. There will be taster sessions going on throughout the day with a main focus on health and wellbeing.

‘We’re all getting older’ says Rebecca Pow ‘and in a bid to help smooth the path and highlight the many opportunities available I am holding this Fair focusing on the older sector (it includes anyone from my age upwards!) I look forward to welcoming as many people as possible to the event where there will be something for everyone.’

Exhibitors include Age UK Somerset, the Community Council for Somerset, the Women’s Institute, National Garden Scheme, sport, art and housing organisations.

The event is free of charge and is being held between 11am and 3pm at The Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton.
