Lifting the Lid


A free, international festival that lifts the lid on everything death & dying through conversations, interactive events, workshops, art and craft sessions, live music, poetry and performance.

Registration

An international line-up

Get ready for three days of ideas, information, art, crafts and ground-breaking insights. We’re really proud of the speakers, collaborators, panels and activities we’ve put together for you.  Everyone involved is volunteering their time and there will be opportunities throughout the weekend to support individuals and organisations if you choose to.

Living it your way

Join us for all or any part of our weekend long programme of events. You can pick and choose the sessions you want to join and create your own schedule. Even adding individual sessions to your diary so we can remind you when they are about to start.

Not just watching

Thought this was going to be only about watching people talk? Think again. Live Q&As, in-session chat, polls, games, interactive and creative sessions. Get the most out of your festival experience with our quick guide to Hopin below. We'll be on hand to help you find your way around easily.

Something for everyone

We have chosen our speakers and collaborators carefully to bring you a diverse, varied and engaging, international programme of events for all levels of interest.

Meaningful connections

Meet other like-minded people, exchange ideas, network, share virtual contact details if you choose to and lay the foundations for new, fruitful relationships in our Networking area.

Join us whenever suits you 

You’ll have access to most of the events throughout the weekend if you miss something. You can go back and watch anything you didn’t catch live, at a time that suits you in our Replay area.
