We’re hosting a special event for the International Day of Older People (IDOP) to celebrate this year’s theme: ‘What’s on my doorstep?’ 

On Thursday, 1 October, we’ll be gathering a marketplace full of artisans, awareness stalls, live music, food vendors, and interactive experiences all in one place at Pudsey Civic Hall for our very first festival-themed celebration. 

More details about the day are still to come; until then, we’re working hard to make sure we have a large variety of stallholders and entertainers in attendance.

Do you want to be involved? Complete our registration form: Vendor and Performer registration form

Please fill out this form to submit your registration of interest for a stall or a performance slot at our event. We will be selecting applications from the following categories:

  • vendors aged (50+)
  • vendors who sell age-positive products like birthday cards/art
  • age-friendly organisations who offer opportunities, raise awareness, challenge negative stereotypes and challenge ageism

Please note: Completing the form does not guarantee you a space, as places are limited by venue capacity, and we want to provide as much variation for the event as possible.
