About this Death Cafe

Dulwich Picture Gallery is opening for a Late, and they have invited us to have a Death Cafe in their beautiful space. The Death Cafe is FREE, a part of this Late event, an opportunity to drink tea, eat cake and discuss death in the beauty of this safe space for sharing our understandings, ideas and experiences. Our aim is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives.

You do not need a ticket to 'Death: A Portrait' to join us for the Death Cafe. To come to the Death Cafe you just need to get a free 'Death Cafe' ticket from our eventbrite link on the Museum's website. Select 'tickets' and then scroll down and select your ticket to guarantee your place. 

You are welcome to stay for the whole two hours, or you can drop for an hour at 8 or 9pm, if you also have a ticket to Death: A Portrait, at the Gallery. 

We look forward to seeing you on 3rd November.

Dulwich Picture Gallery is the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery; established more than 200 years ago because its founders believed as many people as possible should see great paintings. We house a world-class collection of Old Master paintings in Sir John Soane’s unique building allowing visitors to experience exceptional art in an intimate, welcoming setting. We remain relevant by uniting our history with our present using innovative exhibitions, scholarship and pioneering education to change lives
