The Hearth – Late Night Café

A warm space. A safe space. A place to belong.

​

The Hearth is a monthly late-night, alcohol-free community café created to support mental wellbeing, connection, and belonging. It offers a relaxed, welcoming environment where adults can spend time together without the pressure of traditional nightlife.

 

Running every first Saturday of the month from 6pm until late at Good Coffee in Oasis Community Space in Crosby, Scunthorpe, The Hearth is open to anyone aged 18+ who would like somewhere safe, calm, and friendly to spend their evening.

​

Whether you want to chat, meet new people, listen to music, enjoy good coffee, or simply sit quietly with others around you, you are welcome here.

​

What We Offer

Free hot drinks and refreshments

Coffee tasting experiences

Desserts and sweet treats

Music and relaxed social atmosphere

A warm, safe environment

Friendly faces and community connection

Informal wellbeing support and signposting if needed

​

There is no pressure to talk, no expectations, and no cost to attend — just a supportive space where you can come as you are.

​

Why The Hearth Exists

Many adults experience loneliness, stress, or mental health challenges, and there are very few evening spaces available that feel safe, welcoming, and alcohol-free. The Hearth was created to provide a place where people can connect, unwind, and feel part of a community.

​

We believe that sometimes the most powerful support is simply being around others who care.
