Community Cafés up and running at Radstock Museum

We are pleased to report that the Community Cafés at Radstock Museum are up and running again. They are all free (although a small donation is welcome).

There are three cafés so far, two of which the members have chosen to name as clubs. The Memory Club is a stimulating session for people with memory loss and dementia, with activities based on different senses, games and crafts and time to chat over a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits. It is held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month, 10.30am-12 noon.

The Local History Club is a group to share local history, peoples’ stories and to discover hidden treasures with games, quizzes, tea/coffee and biscuits. It is held on 1st and 3rd Monday of every month, 10.30am-12 noon.

And the Wellbeing Café for Carers is a group to chat and relax, try different craft activities with some games and maybe exercise or a stretch. Tea/coffee and biscuits included. It is held on the 4th Monday of every month 2pm-3.30pm.

A member of the carers’ cafés said: "It's brilliant to have a local group to go to because most of the groups are in Bath, which is too far for me. I really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the community cafés and the volunteers are very friendly and welcoming."

If you are interested in joining one of the cafés, contact Jenny Newbury on 07811 073025 or events@radstockmuseum.co.uk. Or just come along to a café. Feel free to bring a friend and/or come and make new ones.
