Social Activities 2024

Age UK York has teamed up with York Archaeology to offer a series of Social Handling sessions at the Barley Hall.  These will offer a safe and welcoming environment for older people to come together to explore local and world history.

Each session will focus on a particular theme or time and will create an interactive and stimulating experience for people with an interest in history.

Sessions will run on the first Wednesday of each month starting in September.  Each sessions will run between 2 and 3pm.  They will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the Barley Hall.
