$Death Caf\u00e9 in Bath$

A space to talk openly about death, dying, and what matters.
About this Event

Death Cafés are free, open gatherings where people come together to talk about death and dying in a relaxed, respectful setting, often over tea and cake. They offer a chance to share thoughts, experiences, questions, or to listen, without judgment or expectation.

The conversations are lightly facilitated and non‑directive. There is no agenda, no teaching, and no attempt to lead people towards particular conclusions. Participants are welcome to bring whatever aspects of death or end‑of‑life feel meaningful to them — including loss, uncertainty, cultural perspectives, or reflections on mortality.

Although facilitated by two bereavement‑informed practitioners, Death Cafés are not therapy or counselling sessions. They are community conversations, intended to make space for open dialogue about a subject that is often difficult to talk about.

To help keep the space intimate and allow everyone the opportunity to speak if they wish, places are limited to 15 participants. Booking is required.

Who is this for?

Death Cafés are open to adults from all backgrounds. You don’t need to have experienced a recent bereavement to attend. You are welcome whether you feel drawn to speak, listen, or sit with the conversation.

About the facilitators

The café is co‑facilitated by Molly Conisbee, a therapist specialising in bereavement and anxiety in later life, as well as a researcher and author exploring social histories of dying and death, and Albert Sobilo, an integrative counsellor specialising in grief, loss, and life transitions, and an end‑of‑life volunteer at the local hospice.

Please note

This is a lightly facilitated community conversation, not a therapy or counselling session. Discussions may include difficult topics, and the event is not intended as crisis support.
