What is the Arts Events Listings?

Age & Opportunity’s Arts Events Listings in a national listing of cultural events taking place throughout the year which are particularly welcoming to older people. It was inspired by Bealtaine Festival participants, GPs and social prescribers asking about age-friendly events outside of the festival month of  May. Events range from concerts, dances, workshops, discussions, exhibitions, tours, screenings and other cultural initiatives.

Advertising on the Arts Events Listings is a great way to signify that your event is accessible and committed to the inclusion of older people. We have a large audience of older people who are consistently seeking activities and events in their nearby area throughout the year. Our Arts Events Listings bring some of the highest traffic through our website, with over 1000 people every month viewing them via our newsletter alone.

How does it work?

Organisations and individuals can sign up and register their events on the Bealtaine website so that people can check out what’s happening around Ireland throughout the year (apart from during May, when events are part of Bealtaine Festival). Furthermore, we highlight events weekly on our social media, benefitting from our 12,000 followers over Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
