Every Tuesday between 2-4pm we save our big table for people to drop in and chat to other people . Whether it is for 5 minutes, half an hour or the full two hours.

We’ve been running this with The Chatty Cafe Scheme UK for almost six months and still need help reaching people who may not know about our chatty table.

Maybe it’s your family member or your next door neighbour who doesn’t use Facebook. Perhaps you’re thinking - actually it’s been ages since I’ve slowed down and had a good chat with someone myself! Everyone is welcome.

As we move into the darker and colder months, getting out of the house and connecting with others in person seems even more important. 🍂

So please do spread the word, or pop in and pull up a chair x
