Quakers affirm that every person has ‘that of God’ within them; that every person can directly experience God in their own way;
that in our silent worship and in living in community we discover together what truth and love mean for us.

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.

Quakers, or Friends, are members of the Religious Society of Friends, also called by some the Friends’ Church. Friends are theologically diverse; many Friends regard themselves as Christian, and include those with evangelical, holiness, liberal and traditional Quaker understandings of Christianity. Others groups of Friends with Christian atheist or universalist beliefs have emerged as well.
