Memory cafes

Our first cafe opened in 2009 as a meeting place for people with dementia and their families, at a time when there were few opportunities to socialise with others affected. Since then our seven cafes have developed into much-valued social and information-gathering occasions where people can strike up friendships, chat informally to professionals, find out more about dementia and support from a wide range of speakers, and enjoy refreshments and entertainment.

Click below for the programme and directions to each cafe.

Amesbury Memory Cafe meets on Mondays

Chippenham meets fortnightly on Thursday mornings 

East Grafton meets on the first Monday afternoon of each month

Harnham (Salisbury) meets on Thursdays 

Melksham - reopening date to be confirmed

Warminster meets on the fourth Monday evening of each month

Westbury meets on the second Wednesday of each month
