Through games, crafts and group activities, In My Life Memory Café will transport visitors back into memories of the 1960s and the days of Beatlemania.
Pre-booking is not necessary, there is an entry fee of £1 per person which includes refreshments such as tea, coffee and biscuits. There will be singing, crafts and a variety of other activities, and is open to any families living with dementia in the Merseyside area. (All craft and activity materials are provided.)

Evaluations made by music therapy charity, Nordoff and Robbins, in 2023 and 2024 found that, among other positive results, 87% of individuals living with dementia found that music therapy enhanced their quality of life. The Beatles Story is set to bring these findings into the local Liverpool area, nurturing precious memories through music.
In My Life Memory Café sessions will take over the award-winning attraction’s Fab4 Café at the Gerry Marsden Ferry Terminal, Pier Head on select dates.
