What is a Big Questions Café?
It’s a friendly, fun gathering where we first share a meal and get to know others around our table. Then, just after we get pudding, we hear a 15-20 minute presentation addressing one of the big questions facing our lives and community. We’re then invited to discuss a series of questions arising from the presentation around our tables, digging deeper. There’s opportunities to engage with the speaker as well.
Our food will be a full dinner from Magic Hat Café, a social enterprise not only tackling food waste in Newcastle, but creatively transforming that food into something delicious! It’s free, but we gratefully accept donations. Please RSVP on this site so we can best meet dietary needs!

Jesmond United Reformed Church, NE2 3AE
Who is sponsoring this and why?
The Café is sponsored by Jesmond United Reformed Church, with the Friends of Jesmond Library. Over the past year, we’ve engaged in community listening exercises and a ‘Futures Literacy’ session. What we heard was the need for improved community cohesion. We always think it’s best to have discussions around a table filled with good food, so we thought these ‘Big Questions Cafés’ might be a way to bring us all together. These cafés are offered up with no other expectation than for people to show up, share in a great meal together, and engage in discussion over big questions that help us identify what we can do together. There’s no charge as we see this as a ministry, but donations are gratefully accepted—just click the donations link when registering are contribute when you arrive.
