These events are part of Lendlease’s annual Spring Retirement Festival, which will see 12 free events – from musical performances, wine tasting, gardening workshops to painting classes – hosted at Lendlease villages across Queensland.

This year’s Spring Retirement Festival will feature more than 60 events nationally. The festival runs until October 20.

Lendlease offers these events for free for guests over 55 but the popularity of the festival means bookings are essential.
