About this meeting
Brentwood Open is the Monday evening meeting at Pilgrims Hatch Parish Hall, on the corner of Orchard Lane and Ongar Road in Pilgrims Hatch, Brentwood. It starts at 7pm and runs for an hour and a half, and the hall is wheelchair accessible. True to its name, it is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting: anyone may attend, whether drink is a worry in your own life or you are alongside someone else, and professionals are welcome to observe. Pilgrims Hatch Parish Hall hosts AA on most days of the week, so if Monday does not suit there will be another meeting at the same address within a day or two. Attendance costs nothing and there is no booking involved.
