Death Cafe, Semester 2 2025/2026

The Inter-faith Chaplaincy offers a monthly Death Cafe which aims to provide a safe space for students to talk about matters related to death and dying, in an informal environment.

Although we usually meet in the rear of the Memorial Chapel, due to scheduled organ works this semester, we're meeting in the Inter-faith Chaplaincy Lounge (Room 259 within Chaplaincy offices, adjacent to the Memorial Chapel).

Don't know where that is? We can meet with anyone who doesn't know how to get there at the Lion and Unicorn Staircase on Professors' Square at 1.30pm to guide you to the right place.

Don't worry, we'll still enjoy tea/coffee and cake together! We'll then engage in a participant-led conversation. All students are welcome.

Death Cafe will return in Semester 2 of 2025/26 on the dates below. See you then!

  • Thursday 29 January, 1.30pm
  • Thursday 26 February, 1.30pm
  • Thursday 26 March, 1.30pm

In the meantime, if you would prefer to have a one to one conversation with a Chaplain about death and bereavement, please contact us by email and we can set up a supportive conversation with you: chaplaincy@gla.ac.uk
