🧡 A chair, a cuppa and some company 🧡
We’re delighted to be working with Empty Chairs to host gatherings as part of our new free monthly community sessions, Brabyns: Explore, Notice & Create.
The idea is simple. A table with empty chairs and an invitation to sit together if you would like some company. No agenda, no pressure and no expectation to stay longer than you want.
You’re welcome to come on your own. You don’t need to prepare anything or have a particular reason for joining us. Come for a chat or simply enjoy sitting with others.
Sarah will be at the Empty Chairs table from 12:30pm to 1:30pm, wearing bright orange so you can spot her. She will be there for the whole hour, ready to welcome you. 🧡
