What's on

GraveTalk

for 1 hour
Sancroft Hall
Fressingfield, IP21 5PA

Do you find it difficult to even think about death, dying and funerals – let alone talk about it? GraveTalk is a gentle and comfortable start to these conversations – and also, for some, fun too.
GraveTalk is a café space, where people can talk about these big events in our lives. The conversations can be helped along by GraveTalk conversation cards; easy questions to start thinking about how to start conversations; join with others and hear their ideas too.
And tea/coffee cake and goodies help the conversation along!
Everyone is welcome.
Sancroft Hall, Fressingfield, Tuesday 19th May 2026, commencing 3pm.
Please RSVP (to ensure enough cake!) to Revd Maria: email [email protected] or text 07759 298824.
