There are two Quaker meetings in Sheffield, a very large one in the city centre, and a small one in Nether Edge. Our city centre meeting house is very close to the Cathedral, so well served by public transport. (Maps for both meetings can be found in the ‘meetings’ section of this website.)
We are a very lively and active meeting, with activities for all ages. Our main meeting is at 10.30am every Sunday, and there is excellent provision for children. There is a creche (with qualified creche worker) for the tiny ones, and group activities for the older ones. There is also an active teenagers group which meets once a month.
We meet for silent meeting for worship (often around 70 or so of us) and the children join us for the last ten minutes of the meeting. During the week there are other activities, such as our PEACE GROUP and other meetings for worship. (More information on the PEACE GROUP, via the Links page)
The smaller meeting, on Psalter Lane, Nether Edge, also meets from 10.30 – 11.30 every Sunday morning.
