Our Death & Grief Cafes offer a safe, confidential, and welcoming space where people—often strangers—come together to talk openly about death, dying, and grief.
There is no agenda or objectives; the conversation is simply led by the people in the group. We sit in small groups so it’s easy to participate. It is a place to talk and share or just listen.
At a Death Cafe, the focus is on exploring feelings, questions, and reflections about death and mortality. The aim is to increase awareness of death, encouraging us to live our finite lives to the fullest.
At our Grief Cafes, the conversation focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of grief, providing a space for connection and support.
Come and join us for our first ever summer picnic!
The picnic is open to anyone who has attended any of our Grief Support activities (i.e. our Good Grief Cafes and Understanding Grief talks) or one of our Death Cafes.
It will be an informal and casual event – an opportunity to continue some of the conversations started at previous cafes and talks or simply a chance to chat and meet new people.
Our table hosts will be available to welcome you and help you join in the conversation.
You are welcome to join and leave whenever you wish, and stay as long or as little as you would like.
Please bring whatever snacks or drinks you like and something to sit on.
We will let you know the exact meeting point nearer the time.
Booking information: If you would like to attend, or would just like to be kept informed, book a place and then we will keep you updated about meeting point and bad weather arrangements via email. Booking a place doesn’t commit you to attending.
