Meeting House Lane, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA1 1TX

  • 08 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

Quakers first worshipped in Lancaster in 1652 at first in each others homes until a Meeting House was built. Our present building is one of the oldest in Lancaster surrounded by a burial ground.

We will share with you the history of the Meeting House, how we worship and how we put our faith into action and address part of our history which we have found distressing. You will have the opportunity to explore our grounds, including our gravestones walk, where some visitors may recognise family names. There is seating so that you can sit and enjoy the peace. As ever a Quaker welcome will include tea or coffee and cakes.
