Memories of The Widowed Sing last weekend, and our finale song "We Are Family"!
It says it all... ❤️

Thanks again to everyone for making the day what it was. We’re still buzzing - and the total raised for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity is now over £2,000!

We have monthly walks, drinks, cinema outings and book club as well as other events!

Community is what helps. We get it

Super exited to be singing all day with more than 60 widowed women & men today
We’ll be live at 5 on our Cambridge Widows page https://www.facebook.com/share/1FE9Ya3qF7/?mibextid=wwXIfr

We are a group of widows who come together to provide support and connection. We are mostly aged 45-65. We’ve been thrown into a world we didn’t want and struggle to understand. We help each other navigate this world and we try to have fun doing it.

We're excited to introduce Helen Robbins, our choir leader for The Widowed Sing 💕

Helen is an experienced choir leader and singing coach based in Cambridge. She believes that everyone can sing and that singing together connects us in a unique, powerful and life-enhancing way. She leads local school, community and workplace choirs for all levels of experience and confidence. So she is the perfect person to bring us together with her warmth, enthusiasm and good humour!

If you're widowed (men and women), come and join us! The Widowed Sing is a pop-up choir in a day for anyone whose life partner has died. It is a unique opportunity to come together with those who have been through the same devastating experience, and to connect through singing. There is no need to be able to sing or to have any choir experience. We learn all we need on the day, and at 5pm perform our songs to a small invited audience.

Three great songs! We'll announce them soon 😉 (or sign up to find out!)

And it's all in aid of our local hospice Arthur Rank Hospice Charity

Tickets cost £50 for the day, including a glass of w**e at the end!

Tickets still available - booking and details here

Welcome to a day of singing, community and connection! 🎵

The Cambridge Widows' Widowed Sing is returning on Saturday 10 October 2026 at St Paul's Church, Cambridge.

Open to anyone whose life partner has died, the Widowed Sing is a pop-up choir day bringing people together to enjoy singing and spend time with others who have had similar experiences. In the afternoon, participants will perform the songs they have learnt on a live stream and for a small invited audience of family and friends.

No singing experience is needed - just come along and enjoy the day.

Cambridge Widows are back in action after the summer with our final push towards the Widowed Sing on 10 October. The pressure is clearly getting to us!

We are so excited that we have 60 people already signed up for The Widowed Sing!
What an incredible group we have and what an amazing experience this will be, with so many widows, widowers and surviving partners in one room singing together. This is such a unique opportunity to spend the day with those who just get it.

It's not too late to join us! Find out all the details on our website https://www.cambridgewidows.com/thewidowedsing2026 and sign up.

Open to anyone whose life partner has died - regardless of when this was, where you live or what your current circumstances are. We can't emphasise enough that there is no need to have choir experience or to think you can sing. This is for anyone who is widowed. Many of us have never sung in a choir before.

And all this raising money for our local hospice, with all profits from ticket sales going to Arthur Rank Hospice Charity

We love talking about all we're doing at Cambridge Widows to help make the overwhelm of grief and widowhood just that little bit easier to bear. We offer acceptance, connection and friendship to anyone whose life partner has died in and around Cambridge.

And the highlight of our year is The Widowed Sing.

A pop-up choir day for anyone whose life partner has died, regardless of how long widowed, current relationship status and singing ability!
Anyone widowed, who is part of this club which none of us wanted to join, is warmly welcomed

The Widowed Sing 2026
Saturday 10 October 9am-6pm
Cambridge

We love this day! It’s such a wonderful opportunity to come together with other widowed men and women to experience the connection of singing together - and yes, the joy too! We have a lot of laughs amidst the warmth and emotion of the day.

And the best news is, you don’t need to be able to sing! Many of those who come every year have never sung in a choir before or were told at school that they couldn’t sing. It’s not about being able to sing, it’s about the fun and connection that comes from meeting those who get it without words.
