Taking place throughout each month, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre offer a variety of social events designed for those living with dementia and their families.

  • The theatre’s latest event, Step in Time features live music that is perfect for tapping along to. The next date is 17 September.
  • 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 sessions take place on 28 September and 26 October.
  • 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 30 September.
  • For a fun morning of live music, seated dancing, and friendly faces, Comfy Ceilidh takes place on 14 October.

Tickets for all events are free but should be booked in advance online. A ticket is required for each attendee, including any carer(s).
