Memory Café Milton Keynes
Make new friends while enjoying a hot drink and a piece of cake
Memory Cafés
The MacIntyre Memory Cafés offer a fun, welcoming and relaxing environment for people to take part in social activities, make new friends and enjoy fantastic cake and cups of tea and coffee.
The Cafés can also be a great chance to just have a chat or sit back and read a newspaper. In the past, our Memory Cafés have featured animal therapy, performances from choirs, arts and crafts and games.
The Memory Cafés are open to everyone; people living with dementia, those caring for someone that is, friends, families, and those that are just curious to find out more.
Our Memory Cafés currently run in Milton Keynes and Chesterfield.
There is no need to book your place – just turn up and enjoy the company.
