Norwich Death Café at the Sainsbury Centre (2025-2026)

Description

Norwich Death Café at Sainsbury Centre

Meet in the Modern Life Café at 2pm, and at 3.30pm join us for a special tour of the collection which will highlight one special object related to death each week.

Death Café is a worldwide movement that brings people together to drink tea, eat cake and discuss death. Our aim is to normalise these conversations and in so doing help us all to enjoy our (finite) lives.

This is a free event and all guests get their first cuppa on the house.

To find out more about what to expect at a Death Cafe go to www.deathcafe.com

Please Note: Death Cafe events are offered as an informal space for talking about death with a view to normalising these conversations. As such they are not offered with the intention of providing bereavement support.

The Norwich Death Cafe team are happy to signpost on to other organisations locally offering this kind of support where needed. Contact norwichdeathcafe@gmail.com for further details.

Death Cafés are held throughout the year at the Sainsbury Centre’s Modern Life Café. Tickets are free, but booking is essential. Please make your selection below for the date you wish to attend. Please email Lauren Wilson at lauren.l.wilson@uea.ac.uk if you would like to bring a guest.
