No charge is made to attend and refreshments are provided, though we welcome donations to ensure the cafe can continue. There is also a fabulous raffle once a month! 

The cafe is an inclusive, dementia-friendly space which is multi-generational with people of all ages attending, we have regular visits from the Lady Bay Pre School.  The cafe is run by Lady Bay music charity musicworks and it is sponsored by the National Lottery Community Fund.
