Old Silk Works

Our largest club is open five days a week at Old Silk Works, our award-winning Dementia Centre in Warminster.

The first thing you'll notice as you enter the Old Silk Works is the light and sheer size of the club. The space is thoughtfully laid out with a large main activity area, an open plan kitchen and members' art on the walls. An indoor garden area (complete with water feature) allows members to experience more natural surroundings. There is also a quiet lounge area with retro furniture and fittings.

In 2019, the club won Best Dementia Design at the National Dementia Care awards.

"It is such an amazing place filled with mischief, joy and love."

"Dad's days with you all truly were “the best days of the week” and he absolutely loved coming to the club. He felt relaxed with you all, loved the fun and craziness, and also enjoyed the banter!"

No two days are the same at Old Silk Works, with activities tailored very much to members' own interests. General activities include art therapy, cookery, board games, reminiscence, dance, poetry readings, photography and much more, alongside plenty of chat and laughter. The club is keen to forge close links with the local community with visiting speakers and entertainers welcomed.

The club is run by manager Louise Gover, supported by her experience staff team and committed volunteers.

It's open Monday to Friday.
