Helping People Live Well: Exhibition Returns to Shrewsbury

People across Shropshire are invited to join us for the 2026 Living Well with Dementia, Sight and Hearing Loss Exhibition, taking place on Tuesday 16 June 2026 from 10.00am to 3.00pm at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury.

Delivered in partnership by Sight Loss Shropshire, Community Resource and Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury and Oswestry, the exhibition will bring together more than 70 organisations offering advice, information, services and hands on support in one place. The event is free to attend.

Swantje Staar Slogrove from Sight Loss Shropshire said: “Too often, people tell us they’re unsure where to turn or are navigating support in isolation. This exhibition is about changing that, and helping people feel informed, confident and supported to live well.”

Karen Corcoran from Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury and Oswestry added: “This event helps people discover services, advice and practical tools that support independence and wellbeing. It is also a chance to speak directly with experts and connect with others who understand the challenges. “

The exhibition is designed for anyone living with dementia, sight loss or hearing loss, as well as family members, carers and professionals. Visitors can expect friendly conversations, practical demonstrations and useful guidance to help them stay independent and connected. There will be opportunities to try equipment, explore new technology and learn more about what support is available across Shropshire.

This year’s event offers a free shuttle bus from Shrewsbury bus and train stations, sponsored by Housing Plus Group, making travel easier for attendees.

The Audiology Drop In Hub, sponsored by In The Loop, will offer support for NHS hearing aid users, including retubing and advice from audiology staff.

We are grateful to our headline sponsors, Ethical Workforce Solutions and Shrewsbury U3A, whose support helps make the event possible.

Ash Nelson, Managing Director at Ethical Workforce Solutions, said: “Our Experiencing Dementia training helps people understand the sensory changes that can affect daily life, and events like this give the community a chance to explore information and tools that can make a genuine difference.”

Mike Reece, from u3a Shrewsbury, said “This event is valuable because it opens the door to support, activities and information that help people stay connected and maintain their wellbeing. At Shrewsbury u3a we see every day how important shared activities and social connection are, especially for people who may be caring for others.”

Whether you want to learn more about living well with memory loss or changes to sight or hearing, find practical support, or simply discover what is available in Shropshire, we would be delighted to welcome you.
