About Woodbrooke: Welcome to Woodbrooke. Woodbrooke is Europe’s only Quaker Study Centre. 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. Find out more information here about our conference facilities.
Woodbrooke makes every effort to function ethically and without harming the planet. Find out how we do this by clicking here:

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. To learn more you can visit some of the Quaker sites on our links page.
