Not the sort of atmosphere one might expect from a gathering of Quakers, but that's what over 1,000 members are experiencing at the Yearly Meeting taking place at Warwick University this week.
"I think everyone will go home wanting a rest," London Quaker Gill Sewell told Premier.
The event is an opportunity for members to come together to set the direction of the body while being inspired to get stuck into their local communities.
Speakers this year include Labour MP Catherine West and Green MEP Molly Scott Cato who addressed how politics and faith can change the world.
Other sessions have included inter-faith dialogue, activism and international development.
Speaking about the impact of the meeting, Gill Sewell said: "When we get back - what we do in our local communities is share the experience...and then look at what it is we can do as a community, what we're called to do in our small plot of Heaven and that will vary from meeting to meeting."
Around 23,000 people attend 480 Quaker meetings in Britain.
