Memory Café
Join us every 2nd Monday of the month from 10:30am to 12pm in the Wells Suite on the first floor of the Museum of Chelmsford (accessed via the main Museum entrance).
Drop in to explore our Museum objects with our curators and volunteers, share your stories with us and enjoy a cup of tea.
This session is designed for those who are living with dementia to attend with their families, friends and loved ones. Due to the capacity of the space, we do not recommend coming if you are part of a group or care home.
