Councillor Mark Estcourt, East Sussex County Council’s lead member for adult social care and health, said: "I’m delighted that we are again able to support the Full of Life Festival which is a great opportunity for anyone over 50 to try a new activity, learn a new skill, get active and meet new people.
"The programme of events showcases the range of activities on offer across our county offering regular activity and all the benefits that can bring to people’s health and wellbeing.
"With many of the activities free and not requiring booking, it’s the perfect time to give a new hobby a go and meet new people."
The festival aims to celebrate the contribution of older people and change the way people think about ageing.
It has been created by East Sussex County Council, in collaboration with East Sussex Seniors Association and seven local senior forums.
