This is just one of the many events planned for Lendlease’s spring celebrations for 2018.

Drawing on the sold-out success of previous festivals Lendlease will host 60 events across its network of retirement villages in Australia, featuring a spectacular line up of entertainment from music and comedy, to cooking and gardening, celebrity performances and creative arts.

Celebrity gardener Charlie Albone from Selling Houses Australia, award-winning Indigenous musicians The Stiff Gins, cabaret stars Australia’s Boys of Motown, ‘food whisperer’ Alastair MacLeod and veteran actor and comedian Peter Rowsthorn will be performing and guests have the opportunity to enjoy “paint and pour” events or master culinary delights with celebrity chefs.

The festival runs from 10 September to 20 October in Victoria, New South Wales, ACT, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

Lendlease is providing all events for free for people aged over 55

Bookings are essential. Find out what events are on offer and reserve tickets at springretirementfestival.com.au or by calling the festival hotline on 1800 550 550.
