Reflections on This Grief Thing In Preston

By Amelia Ideh, Tue 16 Oct 2018

An excerpt from “A Space For Grief (This Grief Thing In Preston)” By David Harradine. This is our first shop. Before we arrive, we talk about what might happen. We acknowledge that nobody might come.

We’re really keen to hear from all sorts of people about how easy or difficult they find it… Read More
