If you are looking for menopause support near you, a safe space to talk, or a way to better understand menopause through shared experiences, Menopause Cafe® offers a unique, community-led approach.
Menopause Cafe is a global movement and registered charity that creates informal, welcoming spaces where people can come together to talk openly about menopause.
What Is a Menopause Cafe?
A Menopause Cafe is a group discussion, not a class or consultation, where participants gather – often over tea and cake – to talk about menopause in a relaxed environment.
Each cafe is:
Open to everyone, regardless of age or gender
Held in a respectful, confidential, and inclusive space
Free from agendas, advice-giving, or promotion
Focused on conversation, connection, and shared understanding
Run on a not-for-profit basis
A Different Kind of Menopause Support
Unlike coaching, medical services, or structured workshops, Menopause Cafe is designed to:
Break down stigma around menopause
Encourage open, honest conversations
Help people feel less alone
Share experiences and perspectives
Increase awareness for individuals, families, and workplaces
There is no set agenda — conversations are shaped by the people in the room.
Who It’s For
Menopause Cafe is for:
Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause
Partners, family members, and friends
Colleagues and employers
Anyone wanting to better understand menopause
The ethos is simple: menopause affects everyone, so everyone is welcome.
