A memory cafe for people living with dementia or other memory problems and their loved ones and carers.

Uniquely this memory cafe takes place in a designated carriage of a steam train travelling through the beautiful Devon countryside operated by the South Devon Railway.

We leave Buckfastleigh at 3.45 precisely and travel to Totnes, arriving back in Buckfastleigh at 5pm. 

The cafe provides a safe and supportive space to socialise and enjoy a wonderful trip out. Other benefits include peer support, information, guidance and refreshments.

Please contact us before coming along for the first time as occasionally times and dates may change as we work with the South Devon Railway timetable.
