It is expected to be an afternoon of 'dance, music, and joy' for people living with dementia, their families, and carers.

Participants will be able to enjoy live performances from professional dancers, dance along or just soak up the lively atmosphere, with refreshments and a warm welcome for everyone.

The event is part of 'Dementia Unmuted', a series of events designed to bring the community together, raise awareness, and honour the creativity and resilience of those affected by dementia.

This event is free to attend, but spaces are limited, so anyone interested is encouraged to book early to secure their spot.
