Take a Walk Down Memory Lane in Whitby as part of Dementia Action Week

This is a one-hour memory stroll through the centre of Whitby for people living with dementia and their carers.

A good walk is more than just stretching your legs; it’s a chance to unwind, meet new friends and discover the fascinating history on our doorstep.

This gentle walk, which starts at 1.30pm, is guided by members of the Whitby Dementia Friendly Community, accompanied by stewards, who will share historic information about the town and lead conversations.

The walk starts and finishes at the Coliseum centre in Whitby, where walkers will enjoy home-made cakes and drinks on their return.

Advance booking £2 per person, including refreshments.
