Following the launch, the gatherings will continue on the third Thursday of every month.Organised in line with the global Death Cafe movement, these sessions provide a relaxed group-directed discussion with no fixed agenda or themes. Participants are invited to share thoughts on whatever aspects of death, dying, or living are on their minds, all while enjoying tea and cake.The Thame Death Cafe aims to create a safe space for open conversation, helping to normalise discussions around a subject often considered taboo. Attendance is free, though donations are welcomed to support the events.
