Dementia Friendly Visit: The Quire
Join us for a bespoke dementia friendly visit that will focus on Westminster Abbey’s beautiful quire, where choristers sing daily.
The visit will begin with refreshments and a short talk from a member of the Abbey team. After this, we will move into the Abbey to take a seat in the quire stalls. Take in the beautiful surroundings of the Abbey, learn more about what happens during coronation services past and present and hear about the daily life of the Abbey as a church.
This event is for people living with dementia and their companion to enjoy together. This event is not suitable for organised groups. Please let us know in advance if you have any accessibility requirements so we can adapt the tour route.
