Welcome
There are five Quaker meetings in the York area.
Three of these are in York itself, the largest based in Friargate. Around York, members of the Religious Society of Friends (commonly known as Quakers) worship and work together as York Area Meeting.
Our Quaker Meeting Houses are not only home to thriving Quaker meetings, but also a community resource – meeting places for many community groups and organisations.
A new page gives an introduction to Quaker worship for newcomers.
Quaker worship is unprogrammed and based on silence.
Friends have completed a survey of sustainability initiatives, opportunities and activities within the Area Meeting.
Themed chapters now tell of local activism and awareness amongst Quakers.

Friargate elders recently updated the form we use to record information about our funeral wishes. Forms are stored at Friargate Meeting house and at home. They can record just the details of next of kin. but there is also an opportunity to convey other preferences about the funeral itself.
Copies can be downloaded by clicking on the image, or visit our Burial Committee page.
During the current outbreak of cononavirus, normal social activities are not possible and worship at our meeting houses is cancelled.
York Quakers are making special arrangements in this time. This includes worship using online conferencing.
The website will provide information and regular updates.
