About Museum Socials
Our Museum Socials are designed for people living with dementia, their relatives, friends, carers, and supporters.
Relaxed and informal, each session explores a different museum theme through various interactive activities, including curator talks, object handling and creative crafts. And tea, cake and a warm welcome are always provided.
“It’s the highlight of her week…the variety of Friday activities are right up her street. It’s a fabulous program doing really important work and definitely contributing greatly to my Mum’s mental health and wellbeing”.
