I work for Age UK hertfordshire and have a client that needs to do some socialising in Welwyn. I am inteereste to know whether or not the coffee mornings at Church House on a Tuesday are still on-going ? If so, could you give me the time of day and any other information please. If they are not, is there any other coffee mornings that you know of in Welwyn. thank you.
I am sorry to be so long responding to your query.
1. The Dementia Friendly Community Café in Digswell has been running for about 18 months.
It meets at the Digswell Village Hall every other Tuesday.
However, it has now been suspended because of the situation and I understand that the next one may not be until later in April subject to the situation at that time. My contact there is Alan Sparshott at or try Homeinstead Senior Care, who I believe organise this cafe with the volunteers.
Your alternative is to try the Welwyn Parish Council offices who might be able to help.
2. The Welwyn Community Cafe has been running for 10 years and meets at St Mary’s New Church Hall every Tuesday between 9.30 a.m. and 12 noon. Coffee tea and biscuits and toasted tea cakes from Katie’s our local bakery, are served at very reasonable prices. As I write I do not know if it has been suspended for the time being, but I suspect that it will be. Contact there is Liz Hesketh at
