About this Death Cafe

At our inaugural Death Cafe people will come together to eat cake, drink tea and discuss all things death and dying.

At a Death Cafe the topics to be discussed are determined during the event itself by those taking part. This means there is no pre-set agenda. It can be helpful to think of it as an informal and open discussion group. This means that anything you would like to share or talk about in relation to death can be brought to the table.

It’s also important to remember that a Death Cafe is not a grief support or counselling session.

The Death Cafe is being hosted and facilitated by two local death educators: Katy Vigurs and Emma Satchell.

The Death Cafe is free to attend but booking a place is essential.
