Kick Off with a Verse

Kick Off with a Verse is a series of weekly 90-minute sessions to support care partners of those living with dementia. It is a space where we use poems to start a conversation about the experiences of being a carer and tap into creative parts of ourselves we may have long forgotten.
Each session includes time to relax and chat together over tea, coffee, biscuits and sandwiches.
Wednesdays Mornings (term time only): Wed 24 Sep 2025 – Wed 22 Jul 2026
To sign up, please email engagement@parktheatre.co.uk
Find out more information about the sessions on the Park Theatre website.
