Join us for our dementia-friendly relaxed sensory walk experience
About the event
Experience the 330-year-old buildings of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in a totally new way each month. During the warmer months we will take a relaxed, sensory stroll through different areas of the Royal Hospital grounds. During the colder months we will explore the Hospital’s history in the comfort of our cozy Studio space.
Smell the aromas of the delicious food served in the Great Hall, hear beautiful organ music in the Wren Chapel, re-create the foods once eaten by Chelsea Pensioners, or take in the stunning Christopher Wren architecture.
Held on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 10.30am, this experience is primarily for people living with dementia, their carers and loved ones, but all adults who feel they would benefit from a more sensory experience are welcome. Please dress for the weather, although the experience will take place indoors in the winter months.
To register your interest for yourself or as a carer, contact our Community Engagement & Outreach Manager, email: community.engagement@chelsea-pensioners.org.uk or phone 07583 695 301
