Brief History	Towards the end of the 19th century, Friends of Redland Meeting set up an Adult School in Princess Street, Bedminster, to provide for the people of what was then a very deprived area. The purpose of the Adult School was educational but with a strong religious base. Gradually, a new Quaker Meeting emerged and was recognised. With the redevelopment of the area for light industry in the early 1950s, the new Meeting House was built in Wedmore Vale. Our premises are occupied during the week by "Dance Voice" - an organisation providing therapy for groups and individuals, practitioner training courses, and a centre with resources ... www.dancevoice.org.uk Back to top
The Meeting Today	Bedminster is one of the smaller Meetings with 30 members, and there are normally 10 to 20 worshipping on a Sunday morning. The main room looks onto an attractive area of grass, shrubs and trees. Back to top
