You are invited to Death over Dinner. An evening of food, conversation, performances and speakers – taking on the subject of death & dying

Death Over Dinner is an event unlike any other, offering the chance to have the conversations we need to be having, but aren’t. The conversations that really matter, the conversations that can change our lives.

Gather around our banqueting table and enjoy a delicious 5-course feast and a line-up of performances and speakers.

Stirchley Baths will be transformed into a world of mythical intrigue where the topic of death is brought to life by speakers and artists.

Created by ChangeKitchen, our special Death over Dinner menu has been put together to reflect eating in a familial setting, a mirror of the meal at a wake. The food will be fragrant, sumptuous and from around the world, reflecting the global nature of death and its ability to bring us all around one table. The food is a celebration of life – part of the matter of death.

DEATH OVER DINNER PROGRAMME
Performer – Joanne Tremarco
The Birth of Death
