Companion Voices End of Life Fair

Sun 2 Nov 2025 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM GMT Holywell Community Centre, WD18 9QD

Companion Voices is hosting our first ever End of Life Fair.

This event offers a safe space to talk about death, grief and loss, with opportunities to learn, share, and connect with the local Watford community around a difficult topic, however it might affect you, whether personally or in your profession.

You are invited to attend talks and participate in our guest workshops around processing death and grief through art, writing, creativity and physical movement.

Your hosts, Companion Voices will present their work singing at bedsides to those at the end of life. The audience will be invited to learn a simple song and sing along with us.

Please note that when you book your free ticket there's an option to make a donation to Companion Voices. Just click in the box showing the suggested amount of £10 and change it as you wish. There's no obligation at all to donate and of course we welcome your donations if you're able to make them!
