This gathering will be filled with warmth, traditional food, and the chance to craft colourful calaveritas while learning more about the meaning behind this beautiful celebration. Whether you’ve celebrated Día de Muertos before or are discovering it for the first time, this is an inclusive space where everyone is welcome.

We invite you to bring a photo of someone you’d like to remember, and together we’ll build an
ofrenda (altar) to celebrate their memory. Let’s take this opportunity to honour our loved ones,
share traditions, and create new connections as a community.
