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. We have separate facilities for children. Refreshments are available following Meeting for Worship. All are welcome
Details of Meetings for Worship and other upcoming events are in the calendar below
The Meeting House is fully accessible, but the toilet is not accessible for wheelchair users. A hearing loop is available.
Times of Meetings for worship
Sundays: 10:30 to 11:10
We now have a 'hybrid' Meeting for worship - Friends gathered in person in the Meeting house are linked to others online.
Use the 'Contact us - other enquiries' email below if you'd like details on joining either the in-person or online meetings

Our history
Did you know that a Wallingford Quaker had £40 of cattle taken from him in 1667, because he refused to pay a tithe to the established church? Or that Wallingford Quaker meeting house was used as a greengrocer's shop in the 1920s?
