The drop in centre was opened to combat loneliness amongst the over 55’s living in Northumberland. It is located in the Stuart Halbert Room at The Alnwick Garden and is open every Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 11am-4pm for you to drop in and meet other people to play cards, listen to music or join in with dominoes, jigsaws and more. You do not need to be a member of the Garden or pay to get into The Garden. This is free and includes tea/coffee/juice and tasty scones and cake.
And the chance to meet your new best friends.
