Leicester Big Book is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held on Friday evenings at 7.30pm in the upstairs room of the Friends Meeting House on Queens Road, running for about an hour and themed around reading and discussing the Big Book. Being closed, it is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. Whether the building has wheelchair access has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead, given the meeting takes place upstairs. No chit system is available at this meeting. Queens Road is within easy reach of Leicester city centre.
