About this Event

A Seat at the Table gathers a small group of people around a shared meal, weaving in gentle creative moments that open space for honest, thoughtful conversation about death, memory and belonging. There's no agenda and no pressure, just good food, good company and the kind of conversation that rarely gets the space it deserves.This is a rare opportunity to slow down, connect with others and reflect on the things that matter most.

What to expect:

  • A simple, shared meal in a warm and welcoming setting
  • Gentle creative moments woven throughout
  • Open, facilitated conversation around death, memory and belonging
  • A small, intimate group

Why come?

We don't often make time to talk about the things that matter most. A Seat at the Table offers a rare, unhurried space to do exactly that — with strangers who quickly won't feel like strangers at all.

Who it's for: Adults

Session length: 2.5hrs

Group size: 12 places pre-booking required

Tickets: £3
