We are a small group of older Friends. We seldom number more than 5 or 6 at Meeting. Few in number, we uphold the Quaker tradition of a gathered silence, waiting upon the spirit. We welcome others seeking spiritual nourishment, and those curious about the Quaker experience. We cherish Advices and Queries as a source of distilled wisdom, and as a guide for life.
Marsden Friends sold their Meeting House in October, 2025, after being there continually since 1763. We now hold our Meeting for Worship in Pavilion Community Hub & Cafe, Victoria Park, Carr Road, Nelson, BB9 7SS.
Meeting for Worship begins at 11.15am.
Wednesday Meeting: CUURENTLY SUSPENDED
Although small in number Marsden Friends are keen to share their worship and hospitality with those who wish to experience the Quaker way of worship and living.
