The Chapel at Gladstone's Library

The Chapel is available for shared silence, personal prayer, meditation and mindfulness every morning from 7.45am. On weekdays at 8am all are welcome to join in a brief gathering (maximum 20 minutes) of poetry, prompts for reflection and a simple sharing of bread and wine according to an open and inclusive Christian tradition.

For all faiths, those without faith and anyone who would appreciate the opportunity to ground their day in reflective practice before breakfast.
