GBGW 2025 – Climate Café
Climate Café – discussion space with facilitators
Chantry House, St Mary’s Church, 4.30-6pm
Wednesday 11th June 2025
Our Great Big Green Week Climate Café is a supportive space in which to talk about how the climate crisis is affecting us – without pressure to act. The space is run by two experienced facilitators.
Climate Cafés offer something different from the usual gatherings of people with interests in climate change. They are facilitated – so you can be sure that there will be space for you to speak. They are not designed to recruit you to do anything or to put you under any pressure. The idea behind them is that talking about climate change is really important – but it is often made more difficult by our feelings of guilt that we are not doing enough, or frustration that others are not doing enough. So we provide a space in which we don’t talk about what we or others are doing or should be doing. We just talk about climate change and how it is making us think and feel.
This gathering is available to anyone over the age of 16. Hot drinks and cake will be provided.
The Chantry House is a beautiful and unusual late-medieval building adjacent to St Mary’s Church, Henley. It offers a calm, quiet and secluded space, tucked away on a quiet town centre cut-through, between St Mary’s Church on Hart Street and Hotel du Vin on New Street.
Climate cafés are not drop-in events, and we limit numbers to 12, so please try to arrive in time for the start (though we won’t turn you away if you’re a few minutes late and there are still spaces!)
This event is FREE to students; £5 ticket fee to cover costs otherwise.
Book your tickets here.
This event is kindly sponsored by St Mary’s Church Henley.
