Ready to challenge and stimulate your brain and lift your heart?
Neurobics is a fun, interactive brain fitness session designed to boost wellbeing through games and mindful challenges. Using simple, enjoyable brain exercises, we’ll spark new neural connections and tap into the brain’s natural ability to grow and adapt – known as neuroplasticity.
Through playful activities and challenges, you’ll work on memory, reaction speed, focus, concentration and creative “outside the box” thinking – all while supporting stress management, better sleep and long-term cognitive health.
Brain fitness is for everyone. By giving your brain what it needs, you can help manage, postpone or even reduce cognitive decline – and most importantly, have fun while doing it!
Come along, get involved and enjoy a session that keeps your brain active and your spirits high.

Are there “stages” to the grief of sight loss?
Since Elizabeth Kubler-Ross published them in 1969, the so-called stages of grief have been part of our understanding of how people process any kind of loss. But how relevant are the stages to you in your experience of sight loss? Do feelings like denial, anger, bargaining sound familiar to you? In this workshop we’ll discuss whether the idea of stages is useful at all, and share the ways you’ve managed through the hardest times.
Tickets are £5

An audio described performance of The Producers
Wednesday 15th July
7:30pm
At The Garrick Theatre
Touch tour TBC
Tickets are £33 per person
Hailed as ‘the funniest show in London’ (★★★★★ The Standard), this outrageous musical has audiences and critics roaring, declaring it a ‘masterful comedy – the show we need right now’ (The Times).
The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ The Producers has exploded onto the West End with ‘his genius for hammily catchy melodies and taboo-busting gags’ (★★★★★ Sunday Express), now playing at the Garrick Theatre after its sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
Based on Brooks’ cult classic film, the original Broadway production won a record-breaking twelve Tony Awards, and this revival proves why. When down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom to stage a surefire flop, their scheme backfires with thunderous applause and unstoppable laughter.

The global phenomenon gallops home to the National Theatre

Too young to enlist, Albert refuses to forget him, embarking on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of wartime France – determined to bring Joey home.
Based on Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel, War Horse is a timeless story of love, courage and friendship, brought to life by astonishing life-sized horses from Handspring Puppet Company and a stirring musical score.
Following a sell-out national tour, the Tony Award–winning global sensation returns to where it all began, nearly two decades after its debut at the National Theatre.
