About Us

The Haydays Experience

Haydays is more than just a place to go; it’s a vibrant community where friendships are made and life is celebrated. For many years, we have been a cornerstone of the St Andrews and wider community, built on the simple belief that you don’t stop playing when you get old – you get old when you stop playing. Run by a dedicated committee of volunteers for over 24 years now, we are a not-for-profit organisation committed to providing a warm and welcoming space for people over 50 to learn, laugh, and live life to the full.

Membership fee is free for 75 year olds and above. Donations welcome.

St Andrews Town Hall

Enjoy a great mix of activities, like
Salsa dancing, Stained Glass, Art, Canasta, Ukulele, Choir, Reading, Craft.

Join us most Tuesdays during term time from 9:15 – 4pm
