About this Event
Walk in the Light - Exhibition & Play by Reading Quakers, celebrating George Fox
Heritage Open Day: Walk in the Light : celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of itinerant preacher and Quaker founder George Fox, via an exhibition of Quaker heritage and artwork, and a short play for all ages Visitors to the Meeting House in the centre of Reading find here a strikingly spacious and peaceful interior. The emphasis on functionality over ostentation is seen in the original features, such as the minister's gallery, sounding cove and remains of a partition mechanism. It is a building which truly speaks of the Quaker values of peace, simplicity and equality, which continue to this day.
