We like to share our meeting facilities with community groups at a reasonable cost. We have three spaces: the Meeting House, the Quaker Centre and the Studio. You can find further information about our three spaces below. We also have the ability for people to stay overnight in communal, low cost accommodation.

The Meeting House is ideal for small exercise classes, meditation groups, lectures, local society meetings or Resident Associations’ AGMs. The building has a kitchenette and two toilets, one of which is accessible. |  |
