Dementia-friendly Creative Café

Fourth Wed of every month, 1.30- 3.30pm.

FREE

Discover new ways to enjoy Wakefield’s art collection, get creative in relaxed, artist-led sessions or simply join us for a chat and cup of tea.

These monthly workshops invite people living with dementia, their carers, friends and family to talk, make and imagine with us inspired by our exhibitions and art collection.

Visit the galleries to look at the art followed by a friendly discussion about what you’ve noticed and your thoughts – there are no wrong answers! In the learning studios you can enjoy light refreshments and creative making activities inspired by the artworks in the galleries.
