Alongside our regular worship we try and create an envornment and events whre people can come togethr and know one another.
It is important people understand they can just come along for worship and then leave.
Other people enjoy being together and having the opportunity to learn more about Quakers, their values and principles.
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.
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 a 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. Hammersmith Ukranian Refugee Open House - in partnership with the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham we run monthly drop-ins for displaced Ukrainians living in West London.
This grew out of the work we did helping Hammersmith and Fulham Council to settle Ukranian Refugees.

5. Shared Lunches: Every couple of months we try and meet for a s imple shared lunch where people bring food along. It is gloriously disorganised but somehow there is always enough food. Normally these happen on the first Sunday of the month but will change around Bank Holiday dates.
6. Quaker Quest: These events happen every two to three months. They are a welcoming space to explore and ask: Who are the Quakers? What do they believe? How do they worship?
7. Outreach: We also put on plays, discussion fora and cultural events to discuss topical issues and discuss Quaker principles and beliefs.
We try and keep the calendar on this website up to date so it is always worth checking to see what might be on if you are planning a visit.
