๐ŸŽฃ Men to Talk - Fishing for well-being at Manor Farm Lake in Lower Caldecotte


Time: 13:00 - 15:00 Price: ยฃ5.00

๐Ÿ—ฃ A Safe Space for Men to Talk
โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ is a support group for men dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. The fishing meetings give men a chance to talk openly with others who understand. Whether they share their struggles or simply enjoy the quiet company of others, they are never alone.

Casting lines and building connections: โ€˜For Men To Talk and Fishโ€™ in 2025 In 2025, โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ will continue their popular โ€˜For Men To Talk and Fishโ€™ meetings at Manor Farm Lakes in Lower Caldecote. These sessions are more than just fishingโ€”theyโ€™re a lifeline...

๐ŸŽฃ The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishingโ€”casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the waterโ€”can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.

๐ŸŽŸ TICKET PRICE - ยฃ5
โ€˜For Men To Talkโ€™ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of ยฃ5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.
