The Dukes Theatre would like to invite you to attend a 2-day Creative Ageing symposium, called Better Than The Alternative on 30th April and 1st May 2025 at The Dukes Theatre.

This event will be bringing together an exciting mix of people to explore the concept of creative ageing and to debunk common stereotypes of older people. Inviting participation from creative practitioners, health professionals and key contacts from academia, to share best practice and new and innovative responses which address key challenges from the sector.
The 2-day event will include:
• A series of keynote speakers – who are all experts in their fields
• Interactive workshops
• Panel discussions
• Networking opportunities
• Performances from creative ageing projects
We wish to see a future where creative work with older people is meaningful and important,
helps people to live longer and more fulfilled lives and gives people access to creative
opportunities and experiences, that also has a positive impact on wider society.
This symposium is part-funded by the National Lottery Community fund and as a result we are
