Quakers have met in Bristol since 1654. The first meeting house within the city boundary was built on land purchased from a Dominican Friary in 1670. The street is still called Quakers Friars. See the article History of Quaker Friars. The meeting moved in 1962, following redevelopment of the Broadmead Centre, to its present location adjacent to the site of a Quaker work house.
Central Bristol Meeting is a member of Keyboard and Easton Churches. One of our members helps run the Global Issues Local Lives project (GILL) in Barton Hill. During the day, the building is used by Bristol Social Services for a Peer Support group.
