Let's Discuss Death Festival

Marigolds, music and a cemetery walk that honours the unremembered.

Let's Discuss Death CIC collaborates with Tower Hamlets Library Services to host a four-day Day of the Dead festival across libraries and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. In 2025 the events included film screenings, end-of-life planning talks and round-table discussions at Bethnal Green Library. A craft session allowed families to decorate a cardboard coffin and write anonymous 'Words Unspoken' wishes. The celebration concluded with a reflective walk through Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park focusing on the unremembered dead and their stories. Dance, music and conversations created a colourful, inclusive remembrance for all ages.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
