Good Grief Weston returned for its third edition, bringing four days of events to North Somerset and opening up compassionate conversations around death, dying and bereavement.

 

Though the programme centred on grief and loss, the festival really was alive with joy, laughter and lightness, and reminded us all that remembering can be a celebration.

As ITV News reported, “It opens a conversation, which is the most important thing of all.”

You can view the programme here and see the full festival gallery below.

While the Festival was warm and welcoming, we know that exploring grief can bring a range of emotions. If you’d like further support, see our resource sheet. You can also find further resources and an ongoing programme of online events and courses on end-of-life topics and grief on the Good Grief Festival website.  

We’d love to hear how you found the festival, so please complete our short survey.
