Meeting House – Hiring Rooms
Hemel Hempstead Quakers are very happy to make their premises available to the local community.
Our large and airy 18th Century hall can be found in a peaceful, quiet setting in the heart of The Old Town in Hemel Hempstead. It is complemented by two smaller rooms, suitable for break-away groups or more intimate sessions, along with a large garden and a fully equipped kitchen.

The hall can also be used with tables for formal meetings and is fitted with a loop system for the hard of hearing. A Grand Piano is available for musical rehearsals or concerts by arrangement. Musical groups who use our main hall report that it has excellent acoustics.
The Classroom can accommodate up to 15 people depending upon the seating plan.
