Dementia-friendly sensory walk at Ham House and Garden
Join us for a free hour-long guided sensory walk for people living with dementia and those who support or care for anyone living with dementia.
- Booking essential
- Free event
This spring, we're launching a series of monthly dementia-friendly walks around our gardens, led by our volunteer guides.
Designed to take in seasonal highlights, the tour is an opportunity to explore nature in a small group at a gentle pace. After the walk, participants can explore the house (open 12–4, last entry 3.30) in their own time.
Booking in advance is essential. Free entry to Ham House and Garden is included. Each ticket includes one essential companion.
As part of the Festival of Blossom, supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, participants and their essential companions on the first walk (Tuesday 20 May) will receive one free drink at the Orangery Café.
