About Us

Where we meet
Venue
The Hertford Quaker Meeting House
50 Railway Street, Hertford, SG14 1BA
Hertford Music Club meets at The Hertford Quaker Meeting House in Railway Street.
Friends in the Truth, as they originally knew themselves, date their existence from 1652, and Hertford Quakers have been corporately organised since 1655. The Meeting House, built in 1670, is the oldest Quaker Meeting House in the world to have been purpose-built and to have remained in continuous use. The building’s harmonious simplicity, including re-used timbers, is in keeping with Quaker Testimonies of Simplicity, Truth, Equality and Peace.

Car parks are available at Bircherley Green SG14 1RL and Gascoyne Way SG14 1AB.
