Covid-19 UPDATE...

Our monthly tea party for persons living with dementia and their families and supporters are online now.

Last month we had a Burns' Night celebration with music from the Cosmic Ceilidh Band playing from home with Kenny Vass on keys and Ian Mackenzie on accordion, celebrating the music and poetry of the bard.

So grab a cuppa and enjoy a sing along and maybe even a wee dance. Please see https://bit.ly/3izVEO2.

For further information or if you would like to receive tea parties on DVD please contact dawn.irvine@capitaltheatres.com.

Tea parties with live music

Every month, we open up the Lafayette Bar at the Festival Theatre for a delightfully fun afternoon with tea, cake and live music. There is a different theme each time and entertainment by professional musicians to local community dance schools. It’s a great chance for people to relax and enjoy their time together and whilst a sing along isn’t compulsory it’s certainly invited!

Our warm and friendly staff look forward to welcoming you.

The Tea Dances are designed for people living with dementia and their carers, friends and family and have proved to be very popular.

Expect an afternoon of tea, cakes and dancing to live music!

Please come in through the main doors at the Festival Theatre and the Lafayette bar is on level F1 and is accessible via the main stairs or by the lift by the box office counter. You are able to drop people off at the front of the building, or if you are arriving by mini bus and parking by stage door there is level access from the courtyard car park.

There are limited car parking spaces available in the courtyard, directly beside the Festival Theatre. Car parking spaces can be booked by calling our stage door on 0131 622 1112.

Our tea parties cost £2 per person, carers come for free.

Call 0131 529 6000 to book tickets.

We don’t want financial hardship to be a barrier to anyone attending our tea parties. Some free places are available. For a confidential conversation, call Dawn on 0131 622 8444 or email Dawn.Irvine@capitaltheatres.com

Limited car parking can be booked by calling Stage Door on 0131 662 1112.
