Empty Chairs The Pilot 19.8.26 7:30pm

Empty Chairs is a simple idea: each evening we book a small table in a pub and leave a few chairs empty - inviting anyone who wants company to join us. There's no pressure, no agenda, and no expectation to stay longer than you want.Loneliness affects people of all ages. Empty Chairs exists to create low-pressure spaces where real human connection can happen - even if it's just sitting together for a drink.

Shared chairs ?  empty chair to me sounds like a death, is that just me, probably.

It is still a great initiative!

Full credit for the initiative but 'Empty Chairs' doesn't sound very inviting; not to my mind, anyway..🪑    🪑    🪑    🪑    🪑    🪑    🪑
