Winchester Friends (Quaker) Meeting House

Our house has a number of interesting historic features outside and inside. From the top floor there are great views of Wolvesey Castle and the Bishops Palace. The garden is a beautiful enclosed spot with areas for quiet sitting or meditation - a perfect place to enjoy some peace and a drink, with maybe a cream tea!
Our exhibition this year is "Innocent Trades" looking at the professions Quakers have been involved with since our founding. There will also be a small exhibition of Peace Posters from Quaker sources.
On Saturday between 11:00 and 13:00: Creating peace ribbons - an art workshop for all.
