The Hammersmith Quaker Meeting House will open its doors to the public on Tuesday 14 October for an evening event aimed at introducing visitors to Quaker beliefs, worship practices, and community values.
The event, titled Quaker Quest, will run from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, with doors opening at 5.30pm. It will take place at the Hammersmith Quaker Meeting House, located at 30–32 Bradmore Park Road (W6 0DT). Entry is free, and while booking via Eventbrite is encouraged, no prior registration or religious background is required.
Organisers say the evening will include a short Meeting for Worship, offering attendees a chance to experience the Quaker tradition of shared stillness and reflection. Members of the local Quaker community will also speak about their personal spiritual journeys and the principles that guide their lives, including simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.
The event will include opportunities for open discussion and questions, as well as information on Quaker involvement in social activism, including peace work, sustainability initiatives, and community service. Light refreshments will be available.
Quaker Quest events have been held in various parts of the UK as part of wider efforts to promote understanding of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers. The movement, which emerged in the 17th century, is known for its non-hierarchical structure, silent worship, and longstanding commitment to social justice.
