Dementia touches the lives of many people across Ireland and the world every day. This year, we are placing some focus on living with dementia with our Dementia-inclusive Programme which includes a singing workshop ‘An Introduction to Gospel Music‘ and a live performance on the main stage by the Forget Me Nots choir. Find out more about the workshop and how to book in advance here.
