A free exhibition bringing together the very best in sensory support and dementia services from across Shropshire and the UK will take place at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on Tuesday 16 June 2026.

The Living Well with Dementia, Sight and Hearing Loss Exhibition – See. Hear. Remember. – will showcase the latest assistive equipment, alongside advice and support from national and local charities, as well as public, voluntary, and private sector organisations, all under one roof.

Designed with people at its heart, the event offers a welcoming space for anyone living with sight or hearing loss, dementia, or supporting someone who is. Visitors can explore practical solutions, discover local services, and speak directly to organisations who understand their needs, making it easier to find the right support in one place.

The exhibition is delivered by Sight Loss Shropshire, a charity supporting people with visual impairment, and Community Resource, a charity working to improve wellbeing across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Radfield Home Care. Their continued partnership reflects the strong link between sensory loss and dementia, helping people access joined-up, practical support.

Returning to Theatre Severn, the 2026 event offers an accessible venue, with sighted guides and BSL interpreters available throughout the day.

Susann Mitchell, Hearing Loss Support Development Officer, said:

“This event makes it easier for people to find the support they need in one place. It’s a chance to get advice, try equipment, and feel more confident about what’s available.”

 Swantje Staar-Slogrove from Sight Loss Shropshire explained why this year is unmissable:

“See. Hear. Remember. is the must-attend event for discovering the latest innovations. From trying a prototype virtual reality guide dog to exploring local and national services, visitors can discover a wide range of support.”

 Karen Corcoran from Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury and Oswestry added:

“We’re bringing together almost 80 organisations in one place, helping people affected by dementia, sight loss or hearing loss, and their families and carers, access practical solutions to live well and maintain their independence.”

 The event is made possible thanks to the generous support of Ethical Workforce Solutions, U3A and In The Loop, helping to keep the exhibition free and accessible to all.

The exhibition runs from 10am to 3pm, with no booking required, and is open to anyone affected by sensory loss or dementia, including families, carers, and professionals.

Free shuttle buses, sponsored by Housing Plus, will run throughout the day from Shrewsbury train station to Theatre Severn, making it easier for visitors to attend.
