🌧️📣 BUDDI BENCH BASH POSTPONED 📣🌧️

Sadly, because of today’s heavy rain, I’ve made the decision to postpone buddi bench bash! ☔️

Please don’t come along today - we don’t want anyone turning up and getting soaked! 🌧️🧥

I’m gutted but as one of the members’ of Bloco Fogo samba band said: “No-one likes a soggy sausage roll!” 🤢

But this is absolutely not cancelled forever — just postponed. buddi bench is all about bringing people together, encouraging kind conversations, and creating a bit more warmth in the world — and we’ll do exactly that on a new date. 🌤️💬🤝

Thank you so much to everyone who planned to come, helped spread the word, shared the event, encouraged me, or simply smiled at the idea of strangers becoming friends over a picnic. You’re brilliant! 🥰🧺✨

Please follow me and buddi bench on socials so you don’t miss the new date — and please help us spread the word that today’s event is postponed. 🙏📣

Thank you so much for your support, kindness and enthusiasm. The rain may have won today… but connection, compassion and community will win next time. 🥰✨

I was nervous talking about this on BBC Radio Kent on Friday.

Because the truth is, lots of us find meeting new people hard.

Listen to a short clip here or the full 5 min interview via my YouTube channel, whatever you prefer.

buddi bench bash is a gentle, funny, friendly picnic where people can practise saying hello.

Saturday 6th June, 12–3pm, Calverley Grounds, Tunbridge Wells.

Come alone if you like. That is exactly who this is for.

If you really don't fancy coming, you probably should go!

Don’t just listen to the interview - come and be part of the story!

A slightly mad idea turns 4 years old tomorrow… and it was you Tunbridge Wells Neighbours, particularly the dog walkers, that inspired the initiative!

Tomorrow at 4.15pm (ish!) (UK Time) - Friday 15th May '26 - I’ll be live in the BBC Radio Kent studio talking about buddi bench bash! Tomorrow also marks exactly 4 years since I launched the very first buddi bench in Calverley Grounds, Tunbridge Wells, UK. 🙂

What started as a small local idea encouraging adult strangers to chat has grown into benches, events, podcasts, newsletters, videos, AI chat — and thousands of meaningful conversations.

If you’ve supported buddi bench in any way over the last four years: thank you.

And if you’d like to join us for buddi bench bash! ’26 — The UK’s Friendliest Picnic — I’d absolutely love to see you there.

Saturday 6th June ’26
12pm–3pm
Calverley Grounds, Tunbridge Wells, UK

Happy St George’s Day. 🐉

One year on from buddi bench Red Cross Gardens, I’m remembering Sarah Wheeler with love and gratitude.

Sarah’s life reminds me that not every dragon needs slaying. Some are met best with creativity, courage and company.

Who will you meet on a buddi bench?
