This event is open to the public. Please register in advance.

Join us for a heartfelt afternoon of storytelling and remembrance in honor of loved ones who have passed away. Now in its fifth year, this special gathering offers an opportunity for healing as we share memories, photos, and stories around campfires. Decorate a stone in memory of your loved one and place it in the sea as the event draws to a close.

This event is free but ticketed – book now: https://cutt.ly/AbsentFriendsPorty

Let’s come together to remember, share, and heal. All are welcome, no matter where you are on your grief journey.
