 Meeting for Worship takes place in the Meeting House every Sunday at 10.45am. 
Worship is at the heart of what it means to be a Quaker. Meeting for Worship brings Quakers together in silence so we can still our minds and open our hearts and lives to God. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Our Meeting House: Rawdon Meeting House was built in 1697 and is a listed building of Special Architectural and Historic Interest.

Our community: Rawdon continues to be a thriving Quaker Meeting. The Meeting House is used by many groups, Quaker and non Quaker, including music groups and performers, as the room has a good upright piano and a good acoustic. From 1992 until the recent pandemic, Rawdon was host to a popular series of concerts in aid of Amnesty International, for which thousands of pounds were raised.
