Wallingford Quakers
Welcome to our Meeting
Our Meeting House is in Castle Street, close to Wallingford town centre.
On Sundays, about 20 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. All are welcome. Refreshments are available following Meeting for Worship.
Children are always welcome. Do let us know if you are going to bring children, and we'll make sure that there are suitable activities for them.
Details of Meetings for Worship and other upcoming events are in the calendar below. Dates when there are special Meetings for children in Reading are also shown.
The Meeting House is fully accessible, but the toilet is not accessible for wheelchair users. A hearing loop is available.
Come to a Quaker Meeting for Worship to find:
- a place where you can be still
- an opportunity to increase your spiritual awareness
- a community of support and friendship
- resources to learn and reflect
- time to deepen your faith.
On Sundays: 10:30 to 11:30
