Join in the fun with Chatty May

During May, Chatty Café will be on tour – hosting events at some stellar Bayside venues ☕💬

This is a great opportunity to chat with locals, meet new friends and discover new places.

The Chatty May events are a relaxed and supported way for people to share in the joy of chatting over a cuppa at a shared table. Chatty Cafe volunteers - expert icebreakers, listeners and, of course, chatters, will be facilitating each event.

These are free events, but you are welcome to purchase food or drinks to support our local venues. There is no need to book - just come along.

Chatty May events are safe, inclusive events for everyone in the community. You might live alone or work from home, be a young person, a new parent or grandparent, or be new to your local area – everyone is welcome.

If you want to connect more with your local community, meet new people, or just enjoy the company of others – join the chat at one of Bayside Chatty Cafe venues listed below.

Chatty Café is proudly supported by Bayside City Council in collaboration with The Chatty Cafe Scheme Australia and with funding from the Victorian Government’s Inner South East Metropolitan Partnerships.
