* Introducing our new Space - "Friends Community Hub"  

The former Footprints shop is now back within our meeting house portfolio and available to hire as a multi purpose commuity space for exhibitions, workshops, public engagement events and much more..

See Community Hub subpage for all details and prices.   

At Darlington Quaker Meeting you will find a diverse and welcoming community. Our official name is the Religious Society of Friends but we are more commonly known as Quakers or Friends.

Quakerism is rooted in Christianity but, today, Quakers are a broad-based group who believe that there is something of God (or the divine) in everyone.

We invite everyone to join us for worship or just a chat.  Details of our Meetings For Worship and weekly Coffee Morning are on the left of this page.

The Burial Ground

The Historic Burial Ground behind the meeting house is open to visitors to drop in during daylight hours.

Hiring our rooms 

A few Covid protocols remain in place for hirers using our building. Masks are politely requested in public areas to keep everyone safe whilst infection levels remain high but this is no longer a legal requirement. All rooms have still restricted capacities in place.    

We are a busy venue for hiring six days a week. Certain days and times will have limited availability, especially evenings. All general information including access to the read-only booking diary is on the hirers page. Booking requests are by email only.  

If you are interested in hiring space, for a tour of the building or for further information,  please email manager@darlingtonquakers.org  

Darlington Friends Meeting House is located in the town centre. Skinnergate is pedestrianised between 10am and 5pm each weekday and 10.30 -5pm on Sundays, but ample parking is available nearby.

The main access is via the rear door - walk through the passageway next door to the new Friends Community Hub and then curve round to your left past the fire escape.
