Launching soonWe’re getting ready to launch in autumn to winter 2026, and we’ll share dates here as they’re confirmed.

Gatherings

No gatherings are running yet. The first will be a tea morning and an Irish music afternoon, in the first three months after launch. Dates will appear here once a venue is confirmed.

What they’ll be like

Small and relaxed, so they’re easy to come along to. We’ll start monthly and move towards fortnightly as volunteers join.

Tea mornings

A cup of tea and a chat. An easy way to meet the group for the first time.

Irish music afternoons

Afternoons of Irish music and songs, with time to talk.

Shared get-togethers

Later on, shared meals and get-togethers that bring older residents, families and volunteers around the same table.

We’ll confirm any cost before the first gathering. Our aim is to keep things free or close to it.

Know a good place to meet?

We're looking at halls, churches, clubs and community rooms in Nottingham and Derby that are easy to get to.
