The Meeting House is situated on the Deramore Road, on the outskirts of the village, adjacent to Bessbrook Mill (which now serves as an army barracks).

Meeting for Worship takes place every Sunday at 11.15 am.

Bessbrook is a model village that was built for the mill workers in the mid 1800s by the Quaker Richardson family who owned the linen mill. The large Meeting House was also provided by the family for the use of Friends. It is now surrounded by National Trust woodlands.

Bessbrook Meeting is part of Lurgan Monthly Meeting.
