Weekly Coffee Mornings

WHAT IS IT? A completely informal gathering over a cup of tea or coffee, providing the opportunity to converse in French.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? If you speak French, you'll be welcome to attend, even if you do not speak French fluently (yet!)

WHEN? Every week, unless otherwise stated (on alternating Fridays and Saturdays), from 10.30-12 noon. See exact dates below.

DATES POUR 2025-2026 : On Saturdays, every two weeks from 13 September to 6 December 2025 ; On Fridays, every two weeks from 5 September to 12 December 2025.

You can come whenever, you like and stay for as long, or as little, as you like.

WHERE? On Fridays: at the Crewe & Harpur Pub, please see: Find Us | Crewe & Harpur in Swarkestone Derby | Pub and Restaurant | Signature (creweharpurpub.co.uk)

On Saturdays: at Coffee #1, Derby. Please see: Coffee #1 | Derby (coffee1.co.uk)

In 2026, we are starting again on Saturday 10 January at Coffee #1, Derby and Friday 16 January (location TBC)

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO TAKE PART? Attend, that's all! It's free for your first two attendances (you just purchase yourself what you'd like to drink). Look out for our little tricolor flags when you arrive to locate us. On your third Pause-café attendance we will invite you to become a French Circle Member, or to make a donation of £10 for the 2024-25 season (valid until September 2025) in order to continue attending the Pause-cafés.
