Taking place throughout each month, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre offer a variety of social events designed for those living with dementia and their families.
Brew and Blether offers companionship, chat, and of course, tea and biscuits. Held monthly, join them on 27 March, 29 May or 24 July 2024.
If you love music and lyrics, be sure not to miss Songwriting Sprint. Participants have the chance to celebrate their stories through music, which are then performed by Edinburgh’s dementia inclusive Forget Me Notes choir during their monthly Together In Song concerts. The next dates are 10 June and 08 July 2024.
Or 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 afternoon away. Tea and ‘Jam’ takes place on 25 March, 29 April, 27 May, 24 June and 22 July 2024.
Offering a chance to reminisce, The Hobby Box invites guests to bring along an item that hold special memories, whether it’s a picture, toy or a special object. In a show-and-tell session, these objects are shared and with rest of the group. Come along to one of the session on 25 April or 23 May 2024.
Tickets for all events are free but should be booked in advance online. A ticket is required for each attendee, including any carer(s).
