About this Event

Manchester Museum opens its doors for a special event aimed at people aged 50 and over on this Age Friendly Culture Monday. Not open to the public on Mondays, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the Museum galleries at a quiet time and to get closer to its collections.


In this event, we are celebrating the UN International Day of Older Persons and Chung Yeung Festival, a Chinese celebration that promotes the nation’s virtues of respecting, caring, and supporting the elderly.


On the day, we are offering attendees the opportunity of participating in a Tea Ceremony, Chinese Calligraphy tasters and singing for wellbeing sessions. Also, you will find out more about Chung Yeung festival and how the Chinese community pays respect to its elders.


Several “conversation corners” hosted by elders from different communities will be set up across the museum to share age friendly practices happening around the city.


The event will finish with a performance by the Bridgewater Hall Intergenerational Choir.
