Monthly Alzheimer's Activity Club, Westport

What to Expect

The Monthly Alzheimer’s Activity Club meets in the Main Hall at Lough Lannagh Holiday Village in Westport, offering people living with dementia, and their families or carers, a relaxed morning of activities, games, chat and refreshments together. Listed in the Westport Parish newsletter’s regular community activities, the club also organises occasional day trips for members. It gives people affected by dementia a low-pressure, sociable outing in a familiar setting, and offers carers a chance to connect with others in a similar situation over a cup of tea.

Clubs of this kind play a practical role for families managing a dementia diagnosis, offering a structured, supervised setting where the person with dementia can take part in group activities while carers get a break or simply get to know other families facing similar days. The Main Hall venue is used regularly for community gatherings in Westport, so the space is familiar and easy to reach for anyone who has attended other events at Lough Lannagh before.

Good to Know

The club meets on the first Thursday of every month from 10:00am to 12:00pm at Lough Lannagh Holiday Village Main Hall, Westport. The next meeting is Thursday 3 September 2026. There is no charge to attend, and newcomers are welcome to come along on the day. For more details, including information about upcoming day trips, contact Marie on 087 170 8706. As a monthly fixture, the club is worth noting for a recurring date in the diary rather than a one-off visit.

Getting There

Lough Lannagh Holiday Village is just off the Castlebar Road on the edge of Westport town, a short drive or walk from the town centre, with parking available on site, making it manageable for members with limited mobility to reach the Main Hall directly from the car park.
