On The Beach is an intimate and interactive sensory experience for 6 - 8 people living with dementia and their carers, created by participatory theatre company Spare Tyre. Join us for a day in the life of a working beach, as we explore its myths, magic, perils and ever-changing beauty through dance, music and visual storytelling. After the performance 11.30am -12.30pm, there is also the opportunity to take part in a creative workshop giving participants, family members and carers the opportunity to contribute to the visual and tactile world of the show, 2.30-3.30pm. All tickets are for one adult living with dementia and include a carer. You can book for either the talk or the workshop separately, or for both. To make this event more accessible we are trialling a sliding pay scale for ticketing with a suggested price, a higher and lower option so that you can pay what you can afford. Please bear with us if there are any issues with this and get in touch if you require assist
