A Grief Café is a safe and confidential space to meet others, to share stories and to explore thoughts and feelings around the experience of grief and loss. It's a supportive environment for reflection and conversation. It's a place where people will be able to find mutual support and encouragement. It may be that your loss is anticipated, recent or a long time ago. At our Grief Café there is no agenda, objective or theme; the conversation is simply led by the people in the group. Please note that this is a discussion group and not designed to be a counselling session. Join us for tea, cake and a friendly supportive ear. Everyone is welcome. We appreciate donations (minimum of £3) towards the cost of refreshments and facilitator expenses. If you are experiencing financial hardship but would like to attend then please contact us. We are unable to offer a refund if you cancel your place. We thank you for your understanding.

With simple line drawings of ordinary objects and mundane moments, Perfect outlines an alternative vision to the competitive pursuit of perfectionism in modern society. As though retrieved from a surreal flower press, people, plants and vessels are presented flattened and slightly out of shape; multiple minimalist selves cross architectural and art historical references; impressions of unrelated scenes captured on paper. With each drawing a gentle act of rebellion, against colour theory and perspective, against hierarchies between foreground and background, humans and things, Noisy World celebrates the humane and humorous aspects of everyday life.
