Winchester Friends (Quaker) Meeting House


  • 16 Colebrook Street Winchester, Hampshire SO23 9LH (map)

Exhibition of "Loving Earth Project" Panels of sewn collage celebrating parts of our planet that we value and want to conserve. Visit our lovely Grade II listed Georgian house and peaceful walled garden. Cream teas and refreshments available.

Our house has a number of interesting historic features outside and inside. From the top floor there are great views of Wolvesey Castle and the Bishops Palace. The garden is a beautiful enclosed spot with areas for quiet sitting or meditation - a perfect place to enjoy some peace and a drink, with maybe a cream tea!

The exhibition this year will consist of many colourful collages created by many people all over the country to draw attention to conservation issues and climate change. There may be an opportunity to start one of your own as well.

The house and garden are an interest in themselves but also it is the Meeting House of Quakers in Winchester - a quiet hour of stillness each Sunday morning and Wednesday Lunchtime (half hour). Many other organisations and hirers use our house during the week. We have wardens who are on duty for most parts of the week.
