The Cubert Meet Ups are led by the team pictured above, who will be there to greet you.

No. You’re very welcome to simply turn up.

If you know in advance that you’re coming for the first time, we’d appreciate you filling in the sign-up form above. It gives us a chance to say hello beforehand, answer any questions and contact you if anything changes.

No. St Cubert's Church is our venue, but the Meet Up itself isn’t religious and there is no faith element.

It’s a regular Quiet Connections Meet Up for people who identify with being quiet, introverted, shy, highly sensitive or experiencing social anxiety. You don’t need to have any connection with the church to come along.

Our Meet Up is a quiet and welcoming space, where we aim to create an ambience that feels both calm and re-energising. We’ll often have uplifting or relaxing music playing quietly in the background. Our facilitators focus on nurturing conversations and participation that has a collective positive upwards spiral e.g. gratitude, small comfort zone stretch wins, things that bring us joy, what we’re learning etc. And there is usually a gentle mix of chatter and quieter moments.

Unfortunately, no. Because St Cubert's is a historic building, there are steps at the entrance and between some areas inside the church.

The nearest accessible toilet is across the road next to the parking field. If you'd like to talk through access before coming, please email newquay@quietconnections.co.uk.

We really do remove the pressure - because we’ve been there too. As quiet facilitators, we like to think that we’ve found a good balance between being attentive to the group and giving you your own space. If we sense you’re in any difficulty, we will gently make sure that you’re okay. But otherwise we will allow you to join in as much or as little as you like.

Yes. We’ll always encourage you to give yourself what you need. If at any point you feel you need to step away, you are welcome to go and make yourself a cuppa or leave for a break before rejoining the group. Our facilitators will be mindful to offer that space and a check-in chat, if needed.

There are usually simple optional activities available alongside conversation, such as colouring or other creative activities. You’re also welcome to bring something of your own to do.

Taking part is always optional. It’s equally okay to come for a cuppa, conversation or simply to spend some time around other people.

Yes. You’re very welcome to come with someone you know, particularly if that makes your first visit feel easier.

You’re welcome to try Meet Ups in multiple locations. There’s no obligation to always go to the same one, but you’re more likely to make friends and genuine connections if you go to the same Meet Up more than once. 

Yes. The Meet Up runs from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, but there’s no expectation to stay for the full two hours. You can arrive or leave at a time that works for you.

No. You can come as often as works for you. Some people come to their regular Meet Up whenever it runs, while others join us less often.

There is a parking field close to St Cubert's Church, across the road from the church.

The nearest bus stop is Holywell Road, around a four-minute walk from St Cubert's Church.
