APR 24

George Fox and Early Quaker Culture

24 - 26 April 2026, Ambleside

George Fox was the key leader of the early Quaker movement but how did he create such a powerful Quaker culture? What were the hallmarks of the early Quaker faith and practice? Why was he so successful?

This weekend, led by Hilary Hinds and Ben Pink Dandelion, experts in the writings of George Fox and Quaker thought, will offer participants a clear overview of the history and also delve below the key events of the 1650s to allow us to better understand the theological mechanisms of success for the first Friends.

There will be talks from the course leaders but also plenty of time for discussion and conversation, all in the beautiful setting of Glenthorne in the heart off the Lake District.

The course begins with the evening meal at 19:00 on Friday and ends at lunchtime on Sunday.
