Festival 2026

To Absent Friends Afternoon Tea

Organised by Headway East Lothian

Thursday 5 November, 12.30pm – 2.30pm

Hallhill Centre, Kellie Road, Dunbar, EH42 1RF 

This activity is for the Headway East Lothian community. Please register in advance.

Join together for a special afternoon of remembrance, connection and community. Over complimentary sandwiches, cake, tea and coffee we will come together to honour the members of our Headway East Lothian family whom we have lost over the years.

A photo memory book will bring together their names and photographs, giving us time to speak their names, celebrate the qualities that made each person unique, and share treasured memories of them and their families.

You will also be able to add thoughts, words and drawings to the table coverings. These contributions will later become a lasting community collage that can grow alongside our collection of photo memories.

The event will offer a safe, accessible and welcoming space where everyone can take part at their own pace—chatting, moving around and connecting with others without judgement or pressure.

Come and share, remember, celebrate, laugh, cry and take comfort in the company of others.

Thanks to the support of a To Absent Friends small grant.
