A Happy Valley Death Cafe is a welcoming, facilitated conversation where people can talk openly about death—how they think about it, how they feel about it, and how it has touched their lives. It is not a grief support group and there is no agenda, mission, or point of view to promote. There’s no pitch and no pressure—just a respectful space for honest conversation, with a facilitator present to help guide the discussion and keep it on track.

Death Cafés are taking place all over the world and follow the same simple format: to talk about death in a relaxed setting. It was conceived by Jon Underwood from the UK in 2010 and has since gained rapidly in popularity. For more on Death Cafés, visit https://deathcafe.com/
