Wolsingham's Alcoholics Anonymous meeting serves Weardale and the countryside west of Bishop Auckland, meeting on Sunday evenings at 6.30pm in the Town Hall on Market Place.

The Town Hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking; arrive a little before 6.30pm, take a seat, and stay for as much or as little as you like.
