A one-hour indoor memory tour is to take place, through the ground floor of the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in Whitby, specially designed for people living with dementia and their carers or companions.
This gentle, accessible walk is guided by staff from the Grape Lane museum, with support from Whitby Dementia Friendly Community.
You can listen to historic stories about Captain Cook and explore the sights, sounds and scents of the museum.
The walk takes place at 2pm on Tuesday September 7.
