Language Cafe
Language Cafe is a free, fun, friendly place to meet new people and informally practice English speaking and listening.
Language Cafe is monthly, on the first Saturday of each month from 14:30-17:00. It is free, you don’t need to book, just turn up.
Free tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks will be provided. Sessions are family friendly and include artist-led creative sessions for adults and children to keep us busy while we chat. We will also have special guests to meet and chat with to cover topics like community resources that might be useful, skills, opportunities and employability.
We welcome and encourage participation from people with refugee and asylum seeking backgrounds as well as confident and native English speakers.
