Discover Our Companionship Cafés in Norwich
Good company, friendly conversation, tea, cake and a warm welcome.
Welcome to our Companionship Cafes in Norwich
At Home Instead Norwich, we believe that staying connected to others can make a real difference. Sometimes, something as simple as sitting down with a cup of tea, having a chat and sharing a laugh can brighten your day.
That’s why we’re delighted to offer Companionship Cafés across Norwich and the surrounding areas, giving older adults and local residents a friendly place to meet, make new connections and enjoy some time together.
Whether you come along on your own, with a friend, neighbour, family member or carer, you’ll always receive a warm welcome.

More than just a cup of tea
Our Companionship Cafés are about creating genuine connections.
You can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, a slice of cake, a chat and, of course, a few laughs along the way. We also enjoy light-hearted quizzes and activities, giving everyone the chance to get involved and have some fun.
You don’t have to be particularly outgoing, and you don’t need to come with someone else. Many people arrive not knowing anyone and soon find themselves chatting and making new friends.
Sometimes, the simplest things can mean the most: a familiar face, a friendly conversation, and somewhere you feel comfortable.
Everyone is welcome
All our Companionship Cafés are free to attend, and there’s no booking required.
Simply choose the café that is most convenient for you and come along. You’re welcome to attend regularly or drop in whenever you can.
If you’re unsure which café is right for you, or you’d like to find out more before attending, our friendly team will be happy to help.
Come and join us
