Coffee Companions
Join them for Coffee Companions, every Thursday morning in their Café Bar!
Coffee Companions sessions are for people to come along for friendly conversations with fellow café-goers and members of the Corn Exchange team, and to maybe make a new friend.
Drop by for a drink or snack and grab a ‘Chat Mat’.
These Chat Mats will show ‘Say Hello’ or ‘Not Today’ messaging that will let others in the Café know whether they are open to having a chat or would rather enjoy their privacy on that occasion.
For those who display a ‘Say Hello’ mat, these free sessions present a great opportunity for you to enjoy new company and friendly conversation.
Their Café Bar offers a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, as well as seasonal treats provided in collaboration with local caterers.
Coffee Companions is a nationwide social enterprise that offers people sat in coffee shops anywhere the opportunity to strike up a friendly conversation and get to know new people!
What to expect:
A welcoming space to enjoy a drink or snack, have friendly conversations, and maybe make a new friend in our Café Bar.
Benefits:
Boost your wellbeing and socialise with new people in a friendly, welcoming environment.
