About this meeting

On Thursday evenings, Bolton Victoria Hall Methodist Church at 37 Knowsley Street hosts a second weekly meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, starting at 7.30pm and running for an hour and a half. Unlike the Tuesday meeting at the same venue, this one is closed, meaning it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; if you want to bring a supporter or attend as a professional, Tuesday is the night to choose. The town-centre location is convenient for buses and trains, and the building is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and nothing to arrange in advance. Newcomers are welcome to arrive, take a seat and simply listen.

Common questions

What is the difference between this and the Tuesday meeting here?

Both meet at Victoria Hall at 7.30pm, but Thursday's meeting is closed, meaning it is for people with a desire to stop drinking only. The Tuesday meeting is open to family, friends and anyone else.

Does attending cost anything?

No. AA is free. A voluntary collection is taken for room hire and refreshments, but there is no expectation that newcomers contribute.

Is there wheelchair access?

Yes, Victoria Hall Methodist Church on Knowsley Street is listed as wheelchair accessible and sits in the middle of Bolton town centre.
