The Normal Grief Festival is a multimedia event at Cafe Kino in Bristol on March 14th. We wanted to create a space that normalises grief. Grief is an inevitable part of the human experience, which is why it is so important to make talking about it less taboo.

The day includes a creative writing workshop about grief, a story circle led by grief coach Rachel Fowler, and a short film screening featuring 10 amazing films about different types of grief. It will conclude with an open mic night, where people can share stories, perform their stand-up routines, or sing songs. The stage is open to everyone, and the themes don’t have to be about grief, comic relief will be very welcome at the end of the day.

You can get your tickets here.
