Death Café

Have you ever felt alone with thoughts around death and wanted to explore this topic with open-minded people?

Rebecca Illing and The Hearth are running a Death Café, which is a group directed discussion where people can talk about death, find meaning, ask questions and reflect on what’s important. We will welcome you to the space with cake, tea, warmth, and curiosity.

Rebecca aims to create a space where you can acknowledge life, what you have lost, and everything in-between. Death and grief often remain overlooked, shrouded in uncertainty and fear. The reality is that death makes life whole.

This event is run on a pay what you can basis, to ensure it is accessible and open to all. To help cover the costs and ensure we can continue offering events like this, we kindly ask for a minimum contribution of £5. Your contribution goes a long way in making this event a success. If you're able to give more, it would be greatly appreciated but most importantly we hope you can join us and enjoy the event.
