Ageing Well Exhibition - Wednesday 5 June 2013
This year’s ‘Ageing Well Exhibition’ is taking
place at the Bedford Corn Exchange, on
Wednesday 5th June 2013, from
10am – 3pm. The day is set up for those 50+
who are looking for ways to ‘live life to the full’.
On the day, there will be an array of stalls hosted by up to 43
different charities and organisations, all serving to provide
information and advice and guidance on matters that affect people
later in life. Free health checks will also be available for
some visitors up to 74 years old, and living in
Bedford.
Interest areas that are of importance to this age group from health
matters to seeking possible hobbies for retirement, household
security and benefit advice and even a chance to enter the Free
Prize Draw to win tickets to a Bedford Corn Exchange show will be
available on the day!

Council, on 01234 228204 or email claire.minney@bedford.gov.uk
