Maidenhead Quakers
Welcome to our Meeting
Our Meeting House is an ‘oasis’ in Maidenhead town centre.
On Sundays, about eight people meet in Quaker worship. There is no programme or leader: anyone who feels called to speak may do so, but often Meetings for Worship are largely silent. There are refreshments and a chance to talk to people afterwards. All are welcome.
We also hold a mid-week Meeting for Worship at noon on the last Wednesday of each month, followed by a bring and share lunch.
Details of Meetings for Worship and other upcoming events are in the calendar below.
Maidenhead Meeting house has wheelchair access throughout, and has an accessible toilet.
Times of Meetings for Worship
Sundays: 10:45 to 11:45
Last Wednesday of each month: 12:00 to 12:40
