Just a lovely meet-up

We don't just sit and talk about menopause. It's a friendly get-together over coffee or breakfast, in a lovely separate space Hannah sets aside at Café Thyme. Stay for the whole thing or pop in for twenty minutes. Being a bit late is absolutely fine.

Coffee & company

Some months are simply an informal chat, a warm drink and a friendly face. That's more than enough.

💬

Guest speakers

Other months bring a speaker on wellbeing, reflexology, dressing and colours, or the local groups that can support you.

🤝

Real connections

Built together with Belle's Place and Café Thyme. Many who come make genuine friends and a little WhatsApp group keeps everyone in touch.

Upcoming dates

All sessions run 9:30 to 11am at Café Thyme. Come and go as you like, and there's no need to book. Speakers for some dates are still being arranged.
