Meeting for Worship during building work at Chesham Meeting House

Our Meeting for Worship remains Sunday 10.45 but through August and September has a temporary venue: we have hired a room from the Buckinghamshire Mind charity at Sun House in Church Street (opposite its junction with Bury Lane). 

Changes to the times of Meeting for Worship at Aylesbury

Important Changes to the times for Meeting for Worship at Aylesbury:

To conform with current bus timetables and accommodate the needs of those Friends who use public transport to attend Meetings, it has been agreed that from August 6th onwards, Meetings for Worship will take place slightly later than previously. On the second and subsequent Sundays each month, worship in the Meeting House will be from 10.45 am to 11.45 am; on the first Sunday in the month, it will take place in the Meeting House from 10.45 to 11.30am, followed by 30 minutes for refreshments and then our Meeting for Worship for Business from 12 noon onwards.


Midweek meeting for worship continues to be held on the 4th Wednesday only, from 7-7:30pm, in the library. Next meetings, Weds 23rd August / Weds 27th September
