About this meeting
St Mary Mags Candle Lit brings something a little different to Saturday evenings in Brighton: an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held by candlelight at St Mary Magdalen's Church Hall, 55 Upper North Street, from 6.30pm for one hour. The candle-lit setting lends the meeting a calm, reflective atmosphere that regulars value at the end of the week. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, whether you have a desire to stop drinking or you are a friend, relative or professional wanting to understand recovery better. The hall is wheelchair accessible for this meeting. As with all AA gatherings, there is no charge, no register and no booking; you can arrive shortly before 6.30pm and simply take a seat.
