Seniors Festival at PHIVE: A Walk Through Time
Location: PHIVE - 5 Parramatta Square
Date: 17th Mar 2026
Step into stories that have shaped Parramatta for generations. Start with a guided visit to St John’s Cathedral, set on Australia’s oldest church site in continuous use, then wander across to the beautifully restored Parramatta Town Hall before wrapping up with a lovely morning tea in the Charles Burns Room of Town Hall, shared with new friends.
This special Seniors Week program is free to attend, come curious and leave delighted.
What you’ll experience
Guided Cathedral tour (40 mins) - hear the living history of St John’s and its treasured precinct, directly from those who care for it.
Town Hall highlights (40 min) - explore the heritage heart of our civic life and discover how the building continues to evolve with the city.
A relaxed morning tea (40 min) - time to chat, reflect and swap favourite discoveries from the morning.
Meeting point: PHIVE foyer (please arrive 5 – 10 minutes before the start).
Please note: Parramatta Town Hall is a working venue. On rare occasions, if a booking comes in, we may need to move the morning tea back to a comfortable room at PHIVE. If this happens, we’ll make the transition easy and ensure you still enjoy the same warm, welcoming experience.
