About this meeting

Beckenham Big Book Step meets on Wednesdays at 7.45pm at St Edmunds Church Hall on Village Way, for an hour and a quarter. The format combines study of the Big Book, AA's basic text, with the Twelve Steps, so discussion stays anchored in the programme rather than drifting. It is an open meeting: newcomers, established members, family, friends and professionals are all welcome. There is nothing to pay and no booking is required. Wheelchair access at the hall has not been confirmed, so check in advance if you need it. Beckenham also has AA meetings on Tuesday and Thursday evenings within the same week.

Common questions

Do I need my own copy of the Big Book?

No. The readings are shared in the meeting, and you can attend with no literature and no preparation whatsoever.

Who can come, and does it cost anything?

Anyone can come, since it is an open AA meeting, and it is free with no booking or referral required.

Is St Edmunds Church Hall accessible?

Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so it is worth checking before you travel if you need step-free entry.
