Be inspired in your retirement at this years Galway 50 plus show

The 50 Plus Show in association with Specsavers Galway is back in the Salthill Hotel this November, the 17th and 18th for the fourth consecutive year!

This year’s event will feature over 70 displays, demonstrations, workshops and talks - all designed to inform and educate people in their retirement.

Attractions include free cooking demonstrations, health screenings, arts & crafts workshops, artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital advice, antique and collectable valuations.

There will also be over 60 exhibitors covering all you need to know regarding health, rights & entitlements, volunteering, recruitment, personal finance, holidays, energy savings, hobbies & pastimes, coin & stamp collecting and joining a club or society.

Sinead Ryan, known to many from her Newstalk programme and column in the Irish Independent, will be speaking both days on “Wills, Inheritance and the Fair Deal Scheme: everything you want to know but are afraid to ask.”

Also speaking, and available to chat afterwards, will be Irish Times Education Columnist and Guidance Councilor Brian Mooney. He will offer some food for thought on the conversations people need to consider having about their retirement - their “second life.”

ALONE’s Hi digital team will be at this years 50 plus show in Salthill, providing information on Hi Digital and ALONE’s wider services, as well as offering practical, on-the-spot support with your digital device.

Also in attendace will be the Age Friendly AI training programmed team, Ireland’s National Artificial Intelligence Literacy Initiative for older adults, who will be hosting a conference on the subject.

For those who are actively inclined, visitors can take part in a line dancing or low impact exercise class given by local experts.
