BURY ST EDMUNDS

QUAKERS

St John's Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk  IP33 1SJ







The Quaker way of life is simple, contemporary and radical.  Quakers worship in stillness, seek out the light of God within us all and work for peace, social justice and the environment.

All are welcome to our Meetings for Worship, held on Sundays 10.30 - 11.30am and Tuesdays 1.00 - 1.30pm.

Our historic Meeting House,  one of the oldest in Suffolk, is open to all.

Quakers (or the Religious Society of Friends) have had a continuous presence in Bury St Edmunds for over  350 years. Though comparatively small in number we are growing and are committed to ensuring the long term future of our Meeting House both as a place of worship and a valued resource for the town.

It is home to many community groups who hire it at a low cost, valuing its accessibility and discreet and accepting atmosphere.

The Hal Company presents

STILL SMALL VOICE by Danusia Iwaszko

A play about self-belief, perseverance and courage. Trusting herself when all men doubted her, Margaret Kemp fought in the 1950’s to keep open the Quaker House in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. Convinced that the house and her beloved faith would be needed for the future, she staged a virtual sit-in, sometimes under an umbrella as there were holes in the roof where the rain came in. This touching tale of one woman’s trust in her still small voice, inspires us all to keep the faith.

Performed in that very Meeting House, The Hal Company will bring to life this story with their usual vibrant style of theatre, music and song. Entertaining and inspiring, this is a play not to be missed.
