Quaker Community

We are a community of 5 to 10 Quakers with a focus on leading a spirit-led life in an ecologically sustainable way. We welcome guests from all faiths and none. We run a range of led courses, events and retreats; these range from the reflective and spiritual to hands-on work in the 10 acres of reclaimed woodland, wetland, wild-flower meadow and organic fruit and vegetable gardens which we have managed since the Community was started in 1988. We also welcome individuals on self-catering retreats, and self-catered groups of up to 16 (if sharing – more if also camping). We are in beautiful semi-rural surroundings in the Peak District, with a wide range of hill and riverside walks from the doorstep and bus and train links to Sheffield and Manchester. Short and long term volunteering placements are available on an individually negotiated basis, please contact us for more information. We review our on-going membership on a three-yearly basis and are open to membership enquiries from Quakers and attenders.
