Sheffield Quakers

Sheffield Quaker Meeting House

belongs to the Religious Society of Friends and its primary use is for Friends to meet together for worship and fellowship. We welcome other organisations to our meeting rooms and many voluntary, charitable and community groups make use of the building.

The building is located in central Sheffield close to the Cathedral within easy reach of public transport and NCP car parking. It is a purpose built facility offering several room sizes and services to suit numerous meetings and events.

We can provide a choice of refreshments and buffet foods, and a range of communication equipment is available.

There is a lift, wheelchair accessible toilets on two floors and an Infra-Red hearing loop is available on request. The Meeting House qualified for the Lord Mayor’s Accessibility Initiative ‘Silver’ award. We aim to provide a friendly, accessible and efficient service and a comfortable environment. We look forward to welcoming you to our Meeting House.
