About this meeting

On Friday nights, Boscombe Baptist Church at 26 Palmerston Road hosts an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting for the Bournemouth area, with doors opening at 7.45pm and the meeting itself running from 8pm for an hour and a quarter. Arriving in that fifteen-minute window is a good idea if it is your first time, as it gives you a moment to find a seat and say hello before things begin. Because the meeting is open, anyone is welcome: people with a desire to stop drinking, but also partners, parents, friends and professionals who want to see what AA is like. The church is wheelchair accessible, attendance is free, and nobody needs to book or register in advance.

Common questions

Can I bring a family member or friend with me?

Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including relatives, friends and professionals, alongside people who want to stop drinking.

What time should I arrive?

Doors open at 7.45pm and the meeting starts at 8pm. Arriving during that window gives you time to settle in, but latecomers are not turned away.

Is there wheelchair access and any cost?

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and like all AA meetings it is completely free with no booking required.
