BLISTS Hill Victorian Town in Shropshire is marking National Dementia Awareness Week (May 15-21) with a special ticket price for those living with dementia and their carers – £5 per couple, compared to the normal £17.95 adult rate.
Blists Hill is part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums, which is member of the Dementia Action Alliance and the Safe Places Scheme, with many staff being Dementia Friends.
It’s a chance to roam around the old streets, talk to the ‘Victorian residents’ and ‘shop owners’, have a ride on a horse and cart, or simply enjoy some fish and chips in the flower garden.
To obtain the special discount on May 20, just need to tell the staff that you are taking part in Dementia Awareness Day.
