About this meeting

A New Freedom & A New Happiness meets every Thursday at 8pm at Place House Hall in Ware. The entrance is tucked away through Bluecoat Yard, reached via an archway under the Bluecoat Boy statue on East Street, with the hall on the right once inside, so it is worth allowing a little extra time to find it the first time. It is a closed meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the wider public, and a chit system operates, so attendance can be confirmed for court, probation or treatment purposes. The hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no need to book ahead of the meeting.
