At our Sunday Meeting for Worship (10:30am-11:30am), some Quakers are in our Meeting room, others at home on Zoom. Please contact us for more information, including the Zoom link.
On the 3rd Wednesday of each month, we have Meeting for Worship from 12:30-1:00pm. This meeting is not blended. We then have a bring-and-share lunch. Everyone is warmly welcome to our Meetings, Quakers and people who are not Quakers. Please get in touch for further information.
Children are very welcome at Sunday Meeting for Worship. If they would like to be looked after separately please get in touch.
All are welcome to attend our Local and Area Business Meetings. They take place through the year (currently in-person, online or blended). Please check the Diary for details.
The Diary page also gives details of events opportunities to learn more about Quakers and Quakerism. The links below give more information.

Area Meeting Othona residential: ‘Deepening our sense of community’
Venue:
To whet your appetites again this year:- do you feel ready for some replenishment physically, emotionally and spiritually? And, in a beautiful setting by the sea, to have time to enjoy being together with a mixture of serious and fun activities, space and quiet?
Our theme this year is about Deepening Our Sense of Community ... worshipping together, looking at our gifts, dealing with difference, peace-making, having fun and time together.
Some accommodation is available onsite, with local Friends providing further beds if necessary. All meals are included. Friends will be asked to make a contribution towards the cost of the weekend (we have been given very good rates by Othona). Area Meeting will subsidise attendance for those who cannot afford the £180 residential and £100 non-residential. Please do not worry about being prevented from coming because of the cost.
We’ll have space for 24-26 participants, so please email Chris Lord on admin@dorsetandswiltsquakers.org.uk to reserve a place if you would like to come, stating whether you want to be residential (single or shared room or residential).
