Saturday 25 April - doors open 2pm for a 2.30pm start

The Back Hall, The Cornerstone Centre, Castle Hill Ave, Folkestone CT20 2QR

Admission £5.

Most people know that Quakers are committed to non-violence, that they refuse to swear oaths, and that they played a huge part in Britain’s campaign to end the Atlantic slave trade. But, where did the Quakers come from? What were their origins? And who was George Fox, the man who gave birth to the Quaker movement? 

Based on her biography, George Fox: Founder of the Quakers, author Jean Hatton will take us back to seventeenth century England, to a ‘world turned upside-down’, to discover the Quaker origins in the turbulent days of the English Civil War.

Refreshments will be served.
