Welcome

Open to people of all faiths and none, a Quaker Meeting invites you to take some time for quiet, stillness, and connection. It’s held by a community of people who care deeply about equality, peace, and climate justice.

We invite you to join us at the following times:

  • Every Sunday at 10:30am for an hour (at the meeting house and on Zoom)
  • Every Thursday at 7:15pm for half-an-hour (currently on Zoom only)

We believe that all human beings are of equal worth. We are therefore open to all, whether offering our premises for worship or for community activities. For our statement on LGBTQ+ inclusion, click here.

Children and families are very welcome. To contact us about our regular activities for children, or any aspect of Quakers and Quakerism, click here.

Our Quaker way of coming together in stillness enables us together to go deeper, and challenges and supports us. We traditionally call this “Meeting for Worship”. For more information see the short video on our About Quakers page.

Community

After Meeting we offer the chance to chat over refreshments. Those on Zoom can chat in small breakout groups. If you are new to our Meeting feel free to ask any questions you may have, whether in person or on Zoom.

As well as our regular Meetings, we organise other events in person and online to consider spiritual and social issues, both to learn from each other and to build our friendships. We also come together for purely social activities.

We are part of York Area Quaker Meeting and Quakers in Britain.
