Cannon Hall and Farm
2023-10-05 11:00 - 17:00 | Cannon Hall, Bark House Ln, Cawthorne, Barnsley, S75 4AT
DonMentia is offering a free trip to Cannon Hall and Farm
Bark House Ln, Cawthorne, Barnsley S75 4AT
to people currently experiencing dementia and their regular carer, to include lunch
To reserve a space, please fill in the form below after checking ‘the notes’
Cannon Hall is situated approximately twenty miles from Doncaster and will take about an hour on the coach. It is well known to most local people for its many on-site facilities and its current television presence so there is sure to be something of interest to everyone.

Lunch will be taken in the White Bull restaurant at 12.30pm in an area especially reserved for us.

The visit to the farm itself is an additional cost to the free amenities and whilst it is of interest it may prove too much for many, especially for those with limited mobility, as there is a lot of walking involved. As well as the usual pigs, sheep, chickens, goats and expected farm animals there are llamas and Highland cattle with ferret races being a frequent feature. If you feel able and wish to visit, please let me know during the meal as tickets must be purchased separately. This is not a problem but obviously it would be wasteful if tickets are bought and then not fully used.

A suggestion for after lunch – arm yourself with an ice cream and just sit and admire the wonderful views of the countryside from the front of the hall. However, if you’re feeling energetic take a tour around the hall, which doubles as a museum and is free to all, or go for a woodland walk, or down to the lake, or browse the wonderful Farm Shop and buy something for next day’s dinner.

We will start the return journey home to Doncaster at 3pm, taking the scenic route with a drive through the Pennines, which will be prettier than the direct route, expecting to return to the carpark at approximately 4.30pm.
As usual all DonMentia events are free to all participants. However, if you drop out after Thursday 21st September, a fee of £15 per person will be payable due to the expenses that will already have been incurred by DonMentia.
Could you also indicate choice of meal please (in the additional information on the form)

Fish, chips & peas
Steak pie, chips, peas & gravy
Lasagne, chips & salad
Sandwiches of any variety & salad
State choice

The Deep
2023-03-21 10:30 - 16:30
DonMentia is offering a free trip toThe Deep, Tower St, Hull, HU1 4DP
On Tuesday 21st March 2023 to include lunch.
Please meet at 10.45 am at the Market Place car park, Doncaster
(opposite the Premier Inn)
If you would like to make your own way there, you will still need to fill in a form, for a meal to be booked for you as well as paying the entrance fee. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an enjoyable day out
As usual all DonMentia trips are completely free to all participants, but there is an expectation that if you sign to join in then you are willing to pay £30 per person if you drop out after 6th March, as DonMentia will have already incurred expenses on the basis of your original agreement
To cancel, please phone Eileen on 01302 723322 or email eileenharrington@talktalk.net as soon as possible, to allow someone else to be offered the place
(or – last minute only: 07796 653682)
The bus will leave the Market Place car park in Doncaster at 11.00am to go to The Deep, Hull, a journey that will take approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. After you have been booked in take the lift up to the 5th floor, which is the start of the route through the aquarium. The restaurant and other facilities are also on the 5th floor. Lunch will be served at 12.30pm in the Observatory, (tbc) an upper area to the restaurant, where there will be a choice of meals. The time is then free to enjoy the watery sights and attractions. (the Observatory will not be free until 1pm so it has been decided to wait until then to eat as it will be more private)

On entering the aquarium, you will become aware that the light levels are low and the floor has a gradual slope downwards. It is suggested that you stand still and wait until your eyes have adjusted to the new situation. The area then opens up and is light and bright with a lot of activity. This is where the top water fish are situated and as you progress downwards the varying types of fish become evident until you come to the larger, deep-water fish at the lower levels.

There are no distinct floors as there is a gradual progression downwards but there are lifts and toilets on all levels as well as many places to sit down.

We will then take the bus back to Doncaster at 3.30pm, returning to the same car park at approximately 4.45pm.

Butterly House

DonMentia is offering a free trip to the Tropical Butterfly House, North Anston, S25 4EQ on Thursday 27th October 2022 to include lunch
Please meet at 11am at the Market Place car park, Doncaster
(opposite the Premier Inn)
Please feel free to make your own way there, but you still need to completeth e form so I can book a meal for you as well as organise the entrance fee

We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an enjoyable day out

As usual all DonMentia trips are completely free to all participants, but there is the expectation that if you sign to join in you are willing to pay £20 per person if you drop out as DonMentia will have already incurred expenses on the basis of your original agreement

If you wish to be included, please complete the details below:
A speedy response is necessary on this occasion due to the limited time factor
The bus will leave the Market Place car park in Doncaster at 11.15am to go to the Tropical Butterfly House, near Dinnington, which will take approximately forty-five minutes. Lunch will be in the cafeteria at 12.30pm where there will be a choice of light lunches. The time is then free to take in the many sights and attractions. It will be suitably decorated for the fun Halloween Spectacular!
The enclosure is not large and there is only one gate, which acts as both entrance and exit so there is very little likelihood of getting lost.
Due to the nature of the venue, it will mean being outside whilst passing from one building to another, so dress appropriately for that day’s weather. There are many places to be indoors or to sit down, and the real, live butterflies are in a tropical house, which is, therefore, extremely warm.
We will then take the bus back to Doncaster at 3.30pm, returning to the same car park at approximately 4.15pm.

Open Garden Scheme
2022-07-20 08:00 - 17:00
Every year many residents of Bessacarr and Cantley open their private gardens to members of the public to raise funds, which are then donated to local good causes and on this occasion DonMentia will be one of the beneficiaries.

This year they have kindly offered to keep open a small number of gardens all within a short walk of each other, for an extra day, for the sole use of DonMentia, at no charge.
Some of these gardens are really spectacular and most have level paths and easy access. Walkers Garden Centre are also generously supplying afternoon teas for the visitors with Dr Ken Kilvington allowing his beautiful garden to be utilised for teas and coffees.
He said, “We are all aware of the difficulties encountered by carers of people with dementia so the garden owners are delighted to help make this into an enjoyable day out in some small way”

Mayflower 400 trip
2020-04-23 11:00 - 17:00
Meet at 11.15am Austerfield Church, DN10 6RG -for a tour and talk by a church volunteer

12.30pm to the Pilgrim Fathers pub and restaurant in Scrooby, DN10 6AT, for lunch (a ten-minute drive)

Following lunch there will another short talk and tour of Scrooby Church, which is just across the road.
Both churches are small so there will not be a lot of walking involved.
A minibus has been provided for those who do not have their own cars but it is anticipated that all who can make their way there, will use their own transport.
The bus has already been paid for by DonMentia so is free to anyone in need, but a mandatory fee of £10 per person will be charged if you book a place and then fail to take your seat.
The bus will depart from the Market Place Car Park, Doncaster at 11am. It will also take you to the Pilgrim Fathers and return to the same town centre car park at approximately 3pm but the return time is only a rough guide.
In November 2020 it will be 400 years since the founding of America. Various religious groups, who were being persecuted by King James 1st, left England on a ship called the Mayflower, to set up a new colony where they could practice their beliefs freely.

William Bradford, who came from Austerfield, became the first Governor of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, whose authority lasted for 30 years, helped develop the first permanent colony in what came to be called New England.

William Brewster, from Scrooby, became the senior elder and religious leader of the Colony and was also an adviser to Governor William Bradford.

The trip is open to people with dementia and their regular carer

Markham Grange
2019-11-16 12:30 - 15:30 | Markham Grange Nursery, Long Lands Lane, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN5 7XB, United Kingdom
This date has been chosen because it is the Northern Chrysanthemum Show as well as there being a Christmas Craft Fair at the same time. Consequently, there will be beautiful blooms to admire and handmade gifts galore to get in some early present buying. The Steam Museum, on site, is usually open at the weekends too; well worth a visit. So, lots to do as well as delicious food and good company to enjoy. There will also be a raffle and perhaps a Lucky Dip.
Markham Grange is approximately 1 mile from the Great North Road (A638), north of Doncaster, and approximately the same from junction 38 on the A1(M) (Redhouse Roundabout). There is ample free parking and everywhere is accessible by wheelchair.
There are no buses that pass nearby, so please let me know if you wish to go but really cannot make alternative arrangements to get there.
This occasion is open to people with dementia and their regular carer who appreciate the weekday cafes, events and activities, but whose families are too far away to visit at weekends.
Please wear your DonMentia name badge, which acts as your meal ticket.
The event is absolutely free to all participants but any voluntary donations will be welcomed to go towards another event, activity or outing. However, this is entirely voluntary and there is no obligation to donate.
