About the event
Each month we will take a relaxed, sensory stroll through different areas of the Royal Hospital grounds. Smell the aromas of the delicious food served in the Great Hall, hear beautiful organ music in the Wren Chapel, or take in the stunning Christopher Wren architecture.
These visits are primarily for people living with dementia, their carers and loved ones, but all who feel they would benefit from a more sensory experience are welcome.
