Our Cake Concerts are dementia-friendly – but open to all – and being held in the daytime makes them accessible for people who might find it harder to attend an evening concert. Not only does the BSO’s Teatime Trio play well-known classics, but the music is served alongside tea and cake.

Music is known to connect us with each other as well as with past experiences. It’s also well-evidenced to mood: “I felt uplifted and happy,” said an attendee in Cornwall.

Thoroughly social occasions these concerts bring people together too, and tables arranged in cabaret style allow for conversation and connection.

The price of just £6 covers refreshments too.

BSO Participate Senior Programme Manager, Sue Sharpe, said “We’re looking forward to welcoming lots of people from across the local community, perhaps with a carer or with family and neighbours.”

Why not join us for a Cake Concert this summer? We’ve got two coming up:

Friday 19 June, 11am, Boldre Memorial Hall, Lymington

Saturday 20 June, 11.30am, Lighthouse, Poole
