Join us at a BOPF Death Cafe for a cuppa, cake and conversation. A relaxed space for older people to talk about life and death.
It is not a bereavement support group or counselling session, but a safe space to talk about a subject we often avoid. There are no speakers or presentations, just a group conversation without expectation. Find out more at www.deathcafe.com
Anyone 55+ is welcome to attend, but spaces are limited to 15 people. The BOPF team will be ready to welcome you from 3pm. Please note that there is another meeting using the room before us.
Please cancel your place if you are no longer able to come. Location details below. Contact us if you have questions at projects@bopf.org.uk
We always welcome new members. Become a BOPF Member - Bristol Older People's Forum
Location
Address: Friends Meeting House, Champion Square, Bristol BS2 9DB
The Meeting House is on Champion Square which lies behind (to the south of) the large Cabot Circus multi-storey car park. The location is well served by public transport and, in addition to the few car parking spaces on our premises there is a large public car park within a few metres.
Getting here:
By Car: Champion Square is near the south end of the M32/A4032, off the A4044 (Bond Street South, also known as Temple Way). We have a small car park which can be reached only from the southbound carriageway of the A4044, within a few metres of turning off the A4032. If this car parking space is full use Cabot Circus car park. (To drive from the Meeting House to enter the multi-story car park, leave Champion Square by the exit near the Phoenix pub, turn right, then go round the system to where the car park is on your left.)
By foot: Head for the Cabot Circus shopping complex; then go (east) towards its car park, crossing Bond Street via or near the glass footbridge.
From Cabot Circus car park: Walk out by the ground floor exit at the southwest corner, from where the Meeting House is visible.
From Temple Meads Station: Walk north about 2km towards Cabot Circus. For simplicity use the main road, though a more pleasant walking route starts from the station’s north-side exit.
By bicycle: Champion Square can be reached as by car and also via River Street or via St Matthias Park.
(NB: Cycling is not permitted within Cabot Circus.)
By bus: There are several bus routes nearby. The nearest bus stops are:
From the north: Penn Street, Stops A and B.
From the south: Bond Street, Stops Ol and Om.
From Temple Meads railway station: Bus route 8 goes most of the way, and there are several other buses which go from the main road.
