Saturday October 17th 10 – 4 at Middlesbrough Quaker Meeting House, 131 Cambridge Road, Middlesbrough TS5 5HL

This is designed as a relaxed day to listen, share, ask, and explore aspects of the Quaker way. It will not be “heavy” but it will enable each person to discover aspects of Quakerism, with the other participants. You will be able to take away material to read and think about. It is an open exploration of anything you wish to enquire about in Quakerism. We will all experience the Quaker way of learning from each others’ personal experiences and insights.
