Weekly dementia-friendly creative session with art, music, dance and a memory café for people living with dementia and their carers.
Dementia Arts Group is running at Salisbury Arts Centre on Monday mornings, 10:30am to 12:00pm. It's a weekly session that's been going since Monday 14 September 2026, and it keeps running through to Monday 14 December 2026, then picks up again from Monday 4 January to Monday 22 March 2027. If you're looking for something to do on a Monday morning in Salisbury, it's a good one to keep in mind.
The sessions rotate each month through art, music, dance and a memory café, so the focus shifts every few weeks. They're led by professional artists and creative practitioners, and the whole thing is built around wellbeing, learning and social connection. The organisers describe it as a space designed to stimulate, uplift and connect people living with dementia and their carers. They also make a point of saying that taking part in creative activities is known to support wellbeing regardless of your age or experience, so you don't need to be an artist to get involved.
Behind the scenes, it's a partnership project between Beyond Dementia, Dance Six-0 and Wiltshire Creative, run by the Take Part team at Wiltshire Creative alongside local artists. There are trained volunteers on hand to support, too, which is a helpful detail if you're coming along with someone who needs a bit of extra help. It's a dementia-friendly group, so it's set up with that in mind from the start.

On the practical side, each participant needs their own ticket, and carers are encouraged to join in as well, so they'll need one too. The sessions run from 10:30am to 12:00pm every Monday, from 14 September to 14 December 2026, and then from 4 January to 22 March 2027, all at Salisbury Arts Centre.
