Teatime with Mind

We’re so honoured to be partnered with Mind with 10% of every ticket purchase going to their great work. With Mental Health such a prevalent issue, we wanted to do our bit to help too. So, we’ve created a comfortable, open space where people can chat to Mind over a cuppa.

The library of tea
