May
Sheffield Life, Loss and Death Festival
Join the Conversation This May
​
Talking about life, loss, and death can be difficult—but it doesn’t have to be. The Sheffield Life, Loss & Death Festival is back this May, with 10 free events taking place across Sheffield. Each event has been designed to create open spaces for people to come together, have meaningful conversations and build confidence in navigating this important part of life.
