Our Coffee Concerts Series started as a Songs and Scones Concert during last summers Festival. These concerts are truly heart-warming experiences which bring families and friends together, offer new experiences, and allow many to re-visit memories from the past. These concerts are fully accessible and also suitable for people living with Dementia and their carers.
Music will be provided by Stacey Blythe.
