The Retirement Show - sponsored by Prudential - took place at Manchester Central (formerly G-Mex) on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 March, and was a huge success. Thousands of visitors came from around the country to enjoy a day out including dancing, makeovers, t'ai chi, cookery demonstrations, seminars, massage, free health checks, Pilates, yoga, singing and more. Exhibitors enjoyed two busy days at the show, despite the competing attraction of the Manchester United-Liverpool football match on the second day of the show. Please check out the photos of the 2009 show! You can also see what some of our visitors thought of their day on our comments page.

The Retirement Show now moves on to London in July and Glasgow in November, but it will return to Manchester Central in March 2010. We will open registration for the next show in Manchester in the autumn and we look forward to seeing you in Manchester in 2010!
