Calendar and Events

For more information email or telephone

Alongside our regular worship we try to create an envornment and events where people can come together and know one another.  However you can just come along for worship.  

Other people enjoy talking together after meeting and having the opportunity to learn more about Quakers.

1. Hammersmith Quaker Worship on a Sunday: - This happens at11am and lasts for an hour.  Everyone is welcome.  After meeting there is coffee and biscuits.  If you have come to meeting for the first time this is a perfect opportunity to ask questions.

If this is your first visit to Hammersmith Meeting you might find this information useful. https://hammersmithquakers.org.uk/your-first-time-at-meeting/

2.  Hammersmith Openings:  These are regular discussion groups held by Hammersmith Meeting, to explore diverse topics and to build our friendship with one another and discuss Quaker thinking and principles.

3.  Hammersmith Mend: This is a new event and part of our sustainability initiatives.  It is designed to help prevent fabrics going to landfill.  People bring an item of fabric or wool they would like mend and receive advice. Conversations could be about mending the world, Quaker values, or general conversation and chat.

4. Volunteering and the community  We think it is important to work withing the community we live in and work to include people in our and the wider community.  In doing this we run events for people who need extra support and at ways to get to know the people around us.

5.  Shared Lunches :  Every two months we sit down and share a simple lunch together.  People bring food along to share.  Lunches are usually on the first Sunday in February, April, June, August, October and December.  They start at 12.30.  All are welcome to stay.  Please check the calendar though as sometimes the date moves by a week or so.

6.  Outreach:  We also put on plays, discussion fora and cultural events to discuss topical issues and discuss Quaker principles and beliefs.

If you would like to be on our mailing list for events please email us:  clerk@hammersmithquakers.org.uk

5 July 2026

Hammersmith Quaker Meeting for Business at 09.30

These happen every two months and are an excellent way of helping people understand the Quaker how we manage the meeting.

People can attend in person or on line (on request).  This is a particularly important meeting as we are discussing our future within the Joint London Meeting structure.

We use the Quaker business method.  The Quaker business method is an unique process for decision-making used by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

It focuses on seeking unity and discernment rather than relying on votes or majority rule. The method emphasizes listening, sharing perspectives, and seeking guidance from a higher power or the "Inward Light".  

The key principles
1.  Seek Unity: The goal is to find a decision that everyone can agree to and accept, even if they don't fully agree with it.  
2.  Discernment:  Decision-making is approached as a process of seeking guidance and understanding, rather than a debate or a negotiation.  
3. Silence: Meetings often begin with a period of silence for contemplation and worship.  
4.  No Voting:  Quakers do not use formal votes, as they believe it can create divisions and undermine the process of seeking unity.

Venue: Friends House on Euston Road

Morning worship joined by meetings on zoom.
Blended business meeting in afternoon.
Parallel meeting for children and young people.

This is one of the six meetings planned for (J)LAM in 2026. All will have parallel meetings for children and young people. All will be blended though on a couple of occasions we will be experimenting with tech and all may not be perfect.


Three of the meetings will be held on Sundays in The Light at Friends House so we know that tech will be excellent, and there will be space for 1,000 Friends if everyone wants to come. These meetings will have worship in the morning joined by LMs across London on zoom.

Our (J)LAMfWfB will take place in the afternoon blended.
The other three (J)LAM will take place in three different London meeting houses (Wandsworth, Westminster and Wanstead), and online. They will be all-day events with learning in the morning and business in the afternoon. These meeting houses can each hold well over 100, but there will be a limit on numbers in person. We could accommodate far more if we held all (J)LAM in The Light at Friends House or at St. John’s Waterloo, but we thought we should experiment with moving around in this first year.

Three of the meetings will be held on Sundays in The Light at Friends House so we know that tech will be excellent, and there will be space for 1,000 Friends if everyone wants to come. These meetings will have worship in the morning joined by LMs across London on zoom.

Our (J)LAMfWfB will take place in the afternoon blended.
The other three (J)LAM will take place in three different London meeting houses (Wandsworth, Westminster and Wanstead), and online. They will be all-day events with learning in the morning and business in the afternoon. These meeting houses can each hold well over 100, but there will be a limit on numbers in person. We could accommodate far more if we held all (J)LAM in The Light at Friends House or at St. John’s Waterloo, but we thought we should experiment with moving around in this first year.
