 Meeting for Worship
The bedrock of the Quaker way is the silent meeting for worship. We seek a communal gathered stillness, where we can be open to inspiration from the spirit of God. During our meetings for worship, some may feel moved to speak. Anyone can speak as all are considered equal. To learn more, see Getting ready for Quaker worship.

The history of Quakerism, Bakewell Quaker Meeting and our Meeting House
In September 2024, Bakewell Quaker Meeting took part in Bakewell Heritage Open Days – an opportunity to celebrate our heritage, community and history. We welcomed a steady stream of visitors to the Meeting House, interested to learn about the history of Quakerism, our Quaker Meeting, our building and our burial ground.
Here are the nine banners that were on display in the Meeting House. All but three of the illustrations are taken from the Quaker tapestry. The focus on George Fox ties in with the 400th anniversary of his birth.
