Blagdon Chew Valley is a Tuesday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Court Lodge on Mead Lane in Blagdon, serving the villages of the Chew Valley south of Bristol. It begins at 7.30pm and lasts an hour and a half. The meeting is open, so it welcomes not only people who want to stop drinking but also family, friends and anyone with a professional or personal interest in recovery. Rural areas can leave people feeling a long way from help, and a regular local meeting saves a trip into Bristol on a weeknight. There is no cost, no booking and no obligation to say anything; many people spend their first meeting just listening, and that is entirely normal.
Is this meeting only for locals?
No. Anyone may attend any AA meeting. Blagdon Chew Valley is also an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside people concerned about their own drinking.
What does it cost and how do I join?
It is free and there is nothing to join in a formal sense. No booking, referral or paperwork; just arrive before 7.30pm on Tuesday at Court Lodge, Mead Lane.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Wheelchair access at Court Lodge has not been confirmed. If access is important for you, it is worth contacting AA's national helpline beforehand to check.
