Southampton’s Memory Cafés are a warm and welcoming space for those who are older in years and may be experiencing memory difficulties. They offer somewhere to share and learn from your own and other’s experiences. There is no referral process, anyone is welcome – just pop in.

Sessions can include activities, performances, talks, singing, music, crafts, games and always a cup of tea and a biscuit!

Below is an overview of our Memory Cafés across Southampton – you can also download our Memory Café Leaflet which has all the details. For regular updates on Memory Cafés and other activities for those living with Dementia – please sign up to our Weekly Whatson Newsletter.
