About this meeting

Brentwood Pilgrims Hatch Early Evening offers a Friday meeting at 6.30pm, timed for the riskiest hours of the week: it is over by 7.30pm, taking the edge off the transition from work to weekend. Held at Pilgrims Hatch Parish Hall on the corner of Orchard Lane and Ongar Road, it is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone can attend, including family members, friends and professionals. The hall is wheelchair accessible. This venue is something of a hub for AA in Brentwood, with meetings on most days, but the Friday early evening slot has a particular usefulness for people building a weekend routine that does not involve the pub. It is free, with no booking or referral needed.
