A great way to stay active and engaged as we get older is by participating in free or low cost events, workshops and activities. They are a wonderful way to get out and about, meet new people, learn a new hobby or just to to have some fun! The Brisbane City Council offer many opportunities such as:
50 plus workshops: These include workshops in Art, Photography, Dancing (line dancing, clogging, ball room etc), Bridge, Knitting, Mahjong, Yoga, Piltaes and light exercises. They are all held at the 50 Plus Centre in Brisbane City
