Last week Tenby Museum’s curator Mark Lewis and events and community co-ordinator Chloe Ashton-Milton brought a slice of the Museum’s history to the Memory Support group in Haverfordwest.

The Museum’s dementia friendly trained staff delivered the session, and the group were extremely grateful and especially enjoyed hearing about different pieces from the past centuries and their stories.

The group got the opportunity to hear more about the museums culture and how they have built their reputation working with their volunteers and other charity collaborations in the area.

The day consisted of handling some rare objects, which sparked conversation of how the previous era lived.

There were some wonderful descriptions of how items were used, some dating back to the 19th century.

Tenby’s Museum has a history working with groups from the Alzheimer’s community and this year they are making plans to share more sensory sessions across Pembrokeshire.

If you are a community group, charity, or local club and would like the opportunity to benefit from hearing about the Museum’s up and coming plans, historic tales or would like to have the chance to receive a show and tell session for a group, please get in contact with the museum on 01834 842809 or email the community co-ordinator at: [email protected] to arrange a visit.
