About this event

Each month we will take objects from the museum collections as a starting point for conversation, sharing ideas and remembering things from our own histories. In some sessions you will hear from museum volunteers on their interest areas; in others, we will use a creative activity to get the conversation flowing in a different way.

Whether or not you have been a visitor of museums in the past, Conversation Club will offer you a welcoming and social chance to talk about things old and new.

This facilitated session is particularly suitable for people living with dementia, carers and any older person who might find it difficult to navigate the galleries alone.

Takes place on the third Monday of the month from 10.30am to 12pm - places are limited so pre-booking is advised.

The Salisbury Museum

The Salisbury Museum tells the story of Salisbury and its surrounding areas - a unique landscape which has been a cradle of continuous human achievement for over half a million years.

The museum uses the extraordinary breadth of its collections, exhibitions and events - including prehistoric material from Stonehenge and South Wiltshire; the Pitt Rivers’ Wessex collection; and a fine medieval collection with finds from Old Sarum, Clarendon Palace and the city itself - to bring to life the narrative of this landscape, and of the people who shaped it and have been inspired by it for over 500,000 years.

Based in the King’s House, a grade I listed building located opposite Salisbury Cathedral, the museum building formerly housed a teacher training college and was the inspiration for an episode in Thomas Hardy’s novel Jude the Obscure.
