About Woodbrooke
Woodbrooke is the Quaker Study Centre in the UK. It is based in the former family home of the local chocolate maker, George Cadbury, himself a Quaker, and has, since 1903, provided education for those of any faith or none from around the world. Education has always been based around exploring Quakerism and the themes of interest to Quakers, such as Peace and Reconciliation, Quaker History and Spiritual Journeys.
Today Woodbrooke also welcomes many visitors wishing to use our facilities for their meetings and conferences. Click here for more information about our conference facilities.

Who are the Quakers?
Quakers believe that everyone may have a direct experience of God and that there is 'that of God in everyone'. Friends emphasise expressing our faith through our lives rather than through attachment to festivals and creeds.
