Ashburton Quaker Meeting

Please join us on any Sunday at 10:30am. We are a friendly bunch and would love to meet you. Whether this is your first time in a Quaker setting, or you are a visitor from elsewhere, you are most welcome.

We are a small to medium sized Quaker community. Numbers on a Sunday vary; usually around 10 people gather. Families are welcome to join us at any time.

How long has there been a Meeting here? We started meeting as a group of Friends in 2004, and we opened our Meeting House (purchased with the help of a bequest from Newton Abbot Quaker, Rachel [Jill] Crossman) in 2013. You'll find us in an alleyway off North Street - we've been described as 'an oasis of calm in the centre of town'.

Curious, but feeling a little daunted? we can meet up for an informal chat in one of Ashburton's excellent cafes. Simply send us a message and we'll be in touch.
