Supporting people living with dementia

Every Monday 2-3.30pm

The Harpenden Memory Lane Café is open every Monday from 2-3.30pm (with the exception of Bank Holidays) at The Salvation Army on Leyton Green in Harpenden.

The Memory Lane Café has been set up to support those living with dementia and their families. Part of wider initiatives helping Harpenden to become a more dementia friendly town, the café offers a welcoming and understanding environment to enjoy tea and cakes in a relaxed, local setting. Refreshments are served alongside a varied programme of activities and entertainment, and the opportunity to get help and advice from external groups such as Citizen Advice.

The Café is organised through a partnership between Harpenden Town Council, The Salvation Army and The Harpenden Trust’s Wellbeing Hub and is an opportunity for anyone living with dementia, and their loved ones, to enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake with a range of activities to participate in should they wish to.

Upcoming sessions

Harpenden Memory Lane Cafe regularly hosts special activities which are popular with our guests (see the poster on this page!). We regularly publish information on social media and also on this page of our website so please revisit for updates.

Please note that if you'd like to come along to the cafe you don't have to take part in the activities - you are welcome to join us for just refreshments and conversation if you prefer.
