Taking place throughout each month, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre offer a variety of social events designed for those living with dementia and their families.
Specifically for the festive season, The Christmas Box is a highly sensory theatre experience, hosted by skilled artists and musicians who work in care settings. Join them for some yuletide cheer on 19 December 2025.

If you fancy some creative music-making, Tea and ‘Jam’ will be music to your ears. A family-friendly event, bring along your own instruments, song suggestions and get ready to sing the morning away. The next session takes place on 26 January 2026.
Relaxing Rhymes features both modern and classic poems by great poets. Come along on 14 January 2026 and enjoy a soothing hour of beautiful poetry being read aloud.
Offering companionship, chat, and of course, tea, each session of Brew and Blether also features something special, from a guest speaker or performer to a quiz. Join the next session on 28 January 2026.
Tickets for all events are free but should be booked in advance online. A ticket is required for each attendee, including any carer(s).
