Festival 2023

A Musical Toast to Absent Friends

Organised by Houston and Killellan Kirk

1st November 2023

Houston and Killellan Kirk will be hosting “A Musical Toast to Absent Friends” for the third year running.

The event will bring together people from the local area who have lost loved ones for an evening of poetry, reflective and uplifting music, a light supper, and the company of other people.

The event will be a time where people who have shared the experience of bereavement can come together, share stories, or even just take some time to reflect and remember those they have lost, and raise a glass to their memory.

We were fortunate enough to hold a similar event in 2021 and 2022, and It is a great privilege to be hosting another event this year with the support of a Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief grant. 

This event is not open to the public, only to the community by invitation.
