This activity is open to the public (14+). No need to book in advance.

You are invited to an evening shaped by the Margaret Kerr Unit Bereavement Playlist - songs to sing, music to listen to and memories to share. This evening is open to anyone affected by loss or grief. Participation is welcome.

Musical participation is welcome, so please bring your instrument if you’d like. You can also sing, listen, or talk. There will be refreshments available.

This activity will start at 7, and doors will open at 6:30.

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