We began with a very moving grief sharing circle – people spoke about family and friends that had passed away, showed photos and objects that meant something to them in relation to that person, and it felt very cathartic.This was to honour the ancient traditions of Samhain – Hallowe’en takes it’s name from All Hallows’ Eve, a night considered by the pagans of Europe to be when the walls between this world and the next to be particularly thin. The Romans and Egyptians before them would […] - [Hallowe'en special](https://alicesteaparty.org/halloween-special/): Join us on the 31st October 2024 between for a traditional Hallowe’en Alice’s Tea Party.

Lived Experience It was decided that, as the tea parties grew, and the needs of the group got a bit complicated, and to share the burden of setting up and organising the tea parties, that ATP needed a committee. We all contribute something, and we are all volunteers. Our Core Values Everyone involved in the tea parties has some experience of mental health; whether that’s lived experience, supporting others, or just seeing the difficulties other’s go though and wanting to help.
