Entrance at rear of church. To request link to online meeting email
Belfast Early Birds also gathers on Thursdays at 6pm, at the same St Mary's Chapel on Chapel Lane in the centre of Belfast, with entry through the door at the rear of the building. Like the Tuesday session, it is a closed meeting, meant for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public. Regulars find the early evening slot useful for fitting a meeting in straight after work before the evening gets busy. The group also runs an online option, with a Zoom link sent out on request by email. Wheelchair access at the chapel has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group in advance if you need step-free access.
Is the Thursday meeting the same as the Tuesday one?
Yes, Belfast Early Birds meets in the same closed format on both Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm, plus Saturday mornings.
Do I need to book a place?
No, there is no booking system and no charge, you can simply arrive for the 6pm start.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
This has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group in advance if you need step-free access.
