Junior Gathering for 11-14 year olds and Senior Conference for 15-18 year olds will both take place 23rd – 30th August 2025 in Reading.

Organised by Friends Southern Summer Events (FSSE) a group of mostly Quaker volunteers. The two residential events are run in a Quaker way, this means that the Quaker testimonies (or values) of Truth & Integrity, Equality & Community, Peace, Simplicity and The earth & Environment are what guide us in creating a packed week of friendship, nurture and fun.

Bookings are open for anyone who might enjoy the events, is sympathetic to our values and is in the right age range. Participants do not need to come from a Quaker background or be involved in Quakers. Cost £590 per participant.
