Chatty Café

Perfect for anyone wanting a change of scene or the opportunity to socialise with others in the unique environment of The MERL. These drop-in sessions are aimed at adults including care-givers and loved ones, supported by friendly museum staff and volunteers.  In the welcoming environment of the museum there will be various optional activities available such as craft, MERL-themed board games and also the chance to discuss, reminisce and share stories inspired by our historical collections. A perfect opportunity to join us for an afternoon at the museum. Refreshments available.
