For more details, reach out to [email protected] FAQs for Compassion Café What is Compassion Café? Compassion Café is a gentle, welcoming community space to pause, connect, and simply be in kind company. Hosted by local holistic wellbeing practitioners, it’s an informal gathering where you can come for conversation, quiet presence, or just a warm drink and a moment out of the busyness of life. There’s no agenda, no pressure, and no expectation to share. Who is Compassion Café for? Compassion Café is open to anyone who would like a soft, supportive space to connect with others. You don’t need any prior experience or knowledge of holistic wellbeing — just come as you are. Do I need to book? Booking is helpful so we have a rough idea of numbers, but the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. If the event appears full online, feel free to check our website or contact us, as spaces may still become available. Is it free? Yes — Compassion Café is free to attend. Tea, coffee and light refreshments are available to purchase from the café. Do I have to stay for the full two hours? Not at all. You’re welcome to drop in, stay for a little while, or remain for the full session — whatever feels right for you. Is this a therapy session or support group? No — Compassion Café is not therapy, counselling, or a formal support group. It’s simply a warm, informal community space for connection, conversation and gentle wellbeing. Can I come on my own? Absolutely. Many people come on their own, and you’ll be warmly welcomed. Is the venue accessible? If you have any accessibility questions, please feel free to contact us before attending and we’ll do our best to help. When does Compassion Café usually take place? Compassion Café is usually held on the 4th Monday of each month, from 10am–12 noon. What happens on Bank Holiday Mondays? Because The Pickled Frog is usually closed on Bank Holiday Mondays, Compassion Café is normally held the week before or after instead. We always make sure the correct date is listed on our website and shared with our newsletter community, so please check there if you’re unsure.
