Age Without Limits Day at Storyhouse

11/06/25

Storyhouse, Hunter Street, Chester, CH1 2AR

You are invited to the Age Without Limits Day at Storyhouse

We would like to invite you to a Coffee Morning to Celebrate Age Without Limits Day taking place at Storyhouse in The Kitchen on Wednesday 11 June with the theme: Celebrate Ageing. Challenge Ageism

Arrival from 9.30am for coffee and cake

10am – 11am

  • Introduction from Val Pasley – a chester resident and volunteer for the Age Without Limits campaign
  • Performance from Joy France –  Joy is an all round creative – a multiple slam-winning poet, stand-up comedian, and writer who travels around delivering talks, running workshops and performing at a variety of festivals and unusual venues.
  • Launch of Storyhouse Elders Festival taking place 13 – 17 October

Why are we holding this event?

Ageing is living: we are all ageing, all the time. Reclaiming pride in the natural, inevitable process of ageing is a powerful and direct challenge to the ageist narratives we grow up with. When we celebrate our age, we are taking a stand against the assumptions and stereotypes that hold us back, and we are taking a stand against ageism.

Please book your free place here: https://www.storyhouse.com/whats-on/age-without-limits-day/

Stand Up Sisters

11/06/25

Community Hive, Market Place, Bolton, BL1 2AR

It will be fun day which will allow women to express themselves, releasing any inner anger they feel about how society perceives them as they grow older in a healthy, creatively contained way.

The event will highlight ageism and will challenge perceptions and attitudes towards older people.

We will do this by engaging in “angry craftivism,” by writing slogans on china teacups and creating a banner to exhibit, which will be held up with walking sticks.

The event will be filmed and women will be interviewed about ageism and how they feel about growing older.

Food and holistic therapies will also be available.

This event is open to the public.
