We are a large, vibrant Quaker Meeting based in a fully accessible city centre building. Every Sunday our building is well-used with adults and children coming to Quaker worship. We use different parts of the building for creative activities, children’s gatherings, as office space or meeting rooms and for shared meals and community events.
At a Quaker meeting people sit quietly together. Anyone may be inspired to speak. These times of shared stillness are where we find the strength and inspiration for everything we do.
No two Quaker Meetings are the same, and a Meeting can embrace a wide range of experience.
Everyone is welcome: Christians, those from other faiths and from none. In Sheffield Central Meeting, the children join us a few minutes before the end of our Meeting for Worship.
Come along to one of our Meetings – you will be very welcome. We very much welcome new attenders, to join us in any of our faith and social justice activities.
Sheffield Central Quaker Meeting aims to be an inclusive, all-age community. There are many ways you can learn more about our Quaker journey.
