Music, laughter and fun

29th March 2026

An amazing afternoon of  music, laughter and fun was brought brought to Sid Valley Memory Cafe last week by the creative arts charity, Villages in Action.

Our superb keyboards player was Ashleigh, who is a boarder at InFocus, the Exeter charity for young people living with visual impairment and other complex needs. She was accompanied on violin by Tom Deam of Devon Music Education and her enabler, Angie. They were supported by our own resident musician, Lorna and by some good, hearty singing from the Memory Cafe members, too.
