Gloucester Guildhall is starting a new free monthly club for people over 50 in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, to help residents stay active and meet new people. The venue is launching the Culture Club to give older residents a chance to take part in creative and social activities during the day.
The sessions begin on 14 March 2026 and will run for a full year until 13 March 2027. Booking is required for the club, which will offer activities like board games, craft workshops, and movement sessions with tea and coffee provided.
The club is designed to be inclusive and welcomes people living with dementia or long-term health conditions. Carers and family members are also invited to attend the sessions alongside their loved ones.
Public health data from Gloucestershire County Council shows that about 20 per cent of adults in the area report feeling lonely. This project is supported by community funding provided to the venue, which is owned by Gloucester City Council.
