Bath Quakers' Burial Garden
We are restoring a burial garden/ ground which has been located in Widcombe, Bath since the 1830s. The burial ground is no longer used for burials but there are still occasional scatterings of ashes. The garden had become very overgrown so we are restoring the borders and in the process uncovering hidden memorial stones. We are also creating a new wildflower patch and hope to encourage more wildlife to the garden. We would like to open up this beautiful space for quiet meditation and reflection not just by Quakers but the local community.

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

Meet in the foyer of the leisure centre. Look out for GoodGym members with red t-shirts. There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre, and Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
