Slow Friending - Fur Edition
Slow Friending | Fur Edition
A slower afternoon where people and their pets come together over tea.
Fur Edition is a pet-friendly gathering created for animal lovers who enjoy meaningful conversations, relaxed company, and sharing the experience with their four-legged companions. Whether you're looking to meet fellow pet parents, make new friends, or simply enjoy a slower afternoon out with your furry friend, this is a welcoming space to connect.
With small group sizes, thoughtfully served tea, seasonal tea pairings, and relaxed conversation prompts, the afternoon unfolds naturally at an unhurried pace. There'll also be moments for pets to socialise, explore, and become part of the conversation.
Bring your pet, come with a friend, or join us solo. Sometimes the easiest conversations begin with a wagging tail.
