Dying to Know Expo
Dying to Know Expo 2026
Join us for a day of open conversations, practical information, and community connection at the Dying to Know Expo.
Whether you're planning ahead, supporting a loved one, working in caring professions, or simply curious about end-of-life choices, this free community event offers a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and explore the many aspects of death, dying, grief, and legacy.
Throughout the day, you'll have access to informative talks, interactive workshops, and a variety of stalls featuring local organisations, practitioners, and services. Topics will include end-of-life planning, funeral options, advance care directives, grief support, sustainable death care, and much more.
Death is a natural part of life, yet it is often one of the most difficult subjects to discuss. The Dying to Know Expo aims to make these conversations easier, empowering people with knowledge and confidence to make informed choices for themselves and their loved ones.
