Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarians

Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarians Newcastle upon Tyne Unitarians meet at 11am every Sunday - all welcome! Email us to get details! You can also join us online via Zoom. Email to get the link.

We are meeting via Zoom and in person at our new meeting place: the Large Spiritual Commons Room in Northumbria Student Central. We welcome all who seek the meaning of life, and who believe that human spirituality is wider than any one tradition, and deeper than any one set of opinions. With a respect for our Christian origins, we seek to explore all truths from all sources. Our fellowship gives u

s strength and encouragement in daily living. We are now back in our building for services, see below for how to get here. If you are coming to our church building by car, you can park in the big public car park near the church, or, if you have a disabled parking badge, there are spaces in front of the church entrance. If you are struggling to find a parking space, drive to the front of the church (turn right past the University's Wynne Jones Building, follow the road around) and ask inside - any of the church's regular attendees should be able to help you find somewhere to park! If you are travelling by public transport, we are 15 minutes' walk from Central Station, and about 10 minutes' walk from the Haymarket bus and Metro station. If you are cycling, there is space within the building for you to store your bike and get changed.

It’s Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

We are proud to share that the Unitarians have been at the forefront of the struggle for LGBTQ+ equality. We were among the first to offer same s*x marriage ceremonies in the UK after decades of offering same-s*x blessings prior.

Today, we recognise the fight for the LGBTQIA+ community is as important as ever. We are committed to honouring our roots by advocating for the rights of marginalised groups, and our gatherings are a safe space for all.

All are welcome here 🕯️

Lit & Phil Survey!
Did you know one of the main founders of The Lit & Phil back in 1793 was our minister at the time, Rev. William Turner?
To start the Development Phase of their National Heritage Lottery Fund project, they want to learn more about who engages with them, how people use their space, and what their needs and experiences have been. They also want to know who does not engage with the Lit & Phil, and why, so they can do more to welcome all.
They are looking for members, volunteers, visitors and non-visitors to take part in one of two surveys. One survey for members and volunteers can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/LitPhil2026members
For non-members, visitors or non-visitors, follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/LitPhil2026Visitors
You can then be entered into a prize draw to win either a full year of Lit & Phil membership or entry into a Lit & Phil event of your choice for two people. The draw will take place after the survey closes on 31 July 2026. Please do consider taking part!
