Experience the uplifting power of rhythm

Elder Beats Drumming

Elder Beats: Free Seniors Drumming Circle (Aged 55+)

Experience the uplifting power of rhythm at our free group djembe drumming session for seniors! This session is a fun and engaging way to boost your energy, enhance wellbeing and connect with others. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned musician, everyone can join in and contribute to the rhythm in their own way!

Drumming has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress and promote physical wellbeing. It’s also a wonderful way to foster social connections.

Guided by Gareth Jones, who spent a decade in South Africa honing his passion for drumming and learning from Zulu elders, performers and musicians, these sessions are a testament to his dedication. Gareth's journey also took him to Ghana, where he studied with master drummers, further enriching his knowledge and skills. For the past two decades, he has shared his expertise and love for drumming through his professional teaching and performances.  

Drums and percussion instruments provided. This is a FREE EVENT but bookings are required to confirm your place. You can book to come to all sessions or just some, it's up to you.

Tuesdays: May27

10:30am - 11:30am at Byron Theatre (69 Jonson Street)

  • An invitation to gently explore your own stories through biographical and creative storytelling

Storytelling is as old as humanity itself. It reconnects us with our roots and reignites the joy of imagination. Folk and fairy tales have a unique power to enchant, inspire, and awaken long-forgotten parts of ourselves. These sessions are designed to be deeply nourishing and fulfilling. You’re welcome to participate or simply sit back and immerse yourself in the world of story. It’s a safe, supportive, and pressure-free space.

Beginner-friendly, drop-ins welcome

Hawaiian Hula Dance

Free Hawaiian Hula Dance Classes for Local Seniors
Mondays: June 2, 16, 23, 30 | July 7, 14, 21, 28 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
(No class on June 9 due to Public Holiday)

Byron Seniors Club members are invited to join free weekly Hawaiian Hula Dance classes!
Beginner-friendly, drop-ins welcome.

Hula, often called the dance of aloha, is renowned for its ability to warm the heart and spark spontaneous smiles. Beyond its charm, hula offers numerous benefits, combining gentle exercise with joyful self-expression — a perfect fit for mature dancers.

Classes are led by Lilith from the talented Byron Bay Hula / Mana Aloha Troupe (meaning "Powerful Love"). Known for bringing the spirit of the islands to local celebrations, fundraisers, festivals, and aged-care events, the troupe’s hip-swaying, heartwarming dances celebrate nature’s beauty while spreading joy and gratitude with smiles, flowers, and graceful hula hands.

Plenty of spots are available, and once you’re registered, you’re free to attend casually.
We just ask that you register once for the full term — no need to book each week.

Come along and experience the magic of hula — we can’t wait to see you there!
