The Chatty Cafe is a welcoming space and community social lounge open every Tuesday between 11 am and 2 pm.  

Join us at Throwley Yard Cinema, Throwley Rd, Sutton SM1 4GJ.   The accessible entrance is on Throwley Way.

Each 3-hour session is a safe place to meet for conversation and company.  

You can meet your neighbours to make friends and have conversations. Play a board game, read a newspaper, or step inside for a warm welcome and a free cup of tea and coffee. 

Let’s have a chat!

The program was launched based on a need identified through consultation with community and housing groups in Sutton for a warm and welcoming space for people to connect with others.

The project is designed to combat loneliness and social isolation. 

The scheme is registered with the national 'Chatty Cafe Scheme'.  https://thechattycafescheme.co.uk/    

Donations from private individuals funded the initial pilot of 10 weeks in early 2024.  In April 2024, we were awarded a grant from Sutton's Community Fund to keep the project going for the next 3 years.
