Your Invitation:
It is our greatest pleasure to invite you to a high tea event at our very own establishment, commonly known as The Octagon Theatre.
You must observe we have spared no expense for the occasion, as much merriment is to be had with such bedazzling entertainment planned to accompany the finest of teas and sweets.
We do hope to see you there in your finest garments.
Sincerely, The Whangarei Repertory Society Inc. of The Octagon Theatre.
The Silver Festival is an annual series of events across the Whangārei District to celebrate older adults and acknowledge their important role and contribution to our District.
This year, the festival is on from 1 to 14 October 2026, starting on 1 October in celebration of the International Day of Older Persons.
The Silver Festival is supported by community groups and clubs in the District that register their events and join forces to celebrate our older communities.
Each event offers an opportunity for seniors to explore what’s available, try something new, connect and make new friends, be active, get creative and, most importantly, have fun!
The Silver Festival is facilitated by Whangarei District Council and is a part of our wider commitment to being an Age Friendly Community.
