Old Park Meadow: More Than Just a Final Resting Place

Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground has become a welcoming community for those who have experienced loss. Whether you have a loved one buried or interred here, have pre-purchased your own plot, or simply seek a peaceful space, you can be a part of the Old Park Meadow community.

Building Connections:
We host a variety of events and activities to help you connect with others:

  • Coffee Mornings & Gardening Club: Every Wednesday, join us for coffee, cake, and conversation (10am-12pm) or for a spot of gardening with our other volunteers (9am-12pm). Everyone is welcome!
  • Bereavement CafĂ©: Held with St Clare Hospice on the third Wednesday of each month (10am-11:30am) in the lodge, this is a space to share your experience with others who understand.
  • Classes & Activities: Our lodge hosts a variety of classes, from yoga to Tai Chi. Follow us on social media (Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground) for updates!
Supporting Local Charities:
Throughout the year, we raise funds for the Essex Wildlife Trust, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance, St Clare Hospice, and Farleigh Hospice. Enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and cake, and consider a donation if you would like to support these important causes.

Venue Hire:
Our peaceful lodge is available for various activities beyond funerals. The main hall is ideal for yoga classes, choir practices, or quiet gatherings like afternoon teas, business meetings, or even art exhibitions.

A Place of Peace and Connection:
Old Park Meadow offers a tranquil setting for reflection, solace, and simply enjoying the beauty of nature. By fostering a sense of community, we honour the memory of those we have lost while enriching the lives of those who remain.
