Festival 2024

To Absent Friends at HMP Edinburgh

Organised by Marie Curie Edinburgh in collaboration with HMP Edinburgh

Tuesday 5th & Thursday 7th November

HMP Edinburgh

These events are not open to the public.

Marie Curie Edinburgh will be hosting two sessions to give prisoners an opportunity to share stories, remember and talk about people who have died.

A team of staff and volunteers from within and outside the prison community will deliver the sessions, taking on various roles including musicians and calligraphers. They will share refreshments and support participants in facilitated discussions and in creating leaves for a memory tree.

This event is supported by a To Absent Friends small grant.
