About Friends' Meeting House
The Friends' Meeting House in Carlisle is the home of the city's Quaker community, where worship takes the form of silent waiting upon God, without clergy or set liturgy. Quakerism holds a historically significant place in Cumbria, the county closely tied to the movement's earliest years, and the meeting in Carlisle continues that heritage. Times of meeting for worship are not recorded in this listing, so checking this page or contacting Friends locally is recommended. For anyone drawn to a stiller, unprogrammed form of worship, the meeting house offers a distinctive alternative within Carlisle's wide range of congregations.
