Local Quaker Meetings

You do not have to be a Quaker to come to any of our local Meetings. All are welcome. Meetings for worship are  held on Sundays, and some other days, at the times and places listed on the local Meeting pages, follow the links. 

This area is rich in Quaker history and has some historic Meeting Houses and the "cradle" of Quakerism at 'Swarthmoor Hall' Ulverston, where George Fox gained the support of Margaret Fell in 1652. the Hall is still a beautiful and thriving Quaker Center.

It also includes the lovely old Meeting venue of Rookhow in the Rusland valley, and the historic Swarthmoor Hall.
