Chester Quaker Meeting House

Visit a 20th Century building that houses a faith group that has been committed to equality and peace since it was founded in the 17th Century and present in Chester since that time.

Be welcomed into our spacious, light and airy interior and enjoy a selection of complimentary hot drinks and homemade cakes.

It may surprise you who are contemporary Quakers and who have been Quakers in the past as our simple displays will identify. Other displays will, for example, highlight the role of Quakers in the abolition of slavery.

This is a drop-in event.
