Rathfarnham Meeting is located in a quiet residential area near Rathfarnham village and castle. The meeting room’s large south-facing windows overlook a spacious lawn bordered by trees. The adjacent badminton hall is used for various Quaker activities and is let out to local social, sporting and community groups. There is ample car parking.
Meeting for Worship takes place every Sunday at 10.30am. Visitors are always welcome.
Junior Meeting for children takes place occasionally. Most Sundays families with children attend Churchtown Meeting (please note Churchtown Meeting starts at 11am). The wide-ranging topics covered in Junior Meeting include those of a Biblical and Quaker nature as well as various social and environmental issues.
Children are welcome other Sundays too when their parent(s) are asked to stay with them and are welcome to use the books, games and many resources in the Junior Meeting cupboard.

Rathfarnham Meeting celebrated its 50th anniversary in January 2007 with a special meeting for worship. The children interviewed seven of the original members of the Meeting and they compiled the interviews into a scrapbook.
The meeting house was built on land given to Friends by Lamb Brothers, Quaker jam manufacturers. It formed part of the site of the Lambs’ fruit farm, which was sold in the 1950s for housing development.
Rathfarnham Meeting is part of Dublin Monthly Meeting.
The Meeting maintains a library for the use of its Members and regular Attenders.
