About this meeting

Trinity Methodist Church, Brentgovel Street, in Bury St Edmonds, hosts a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting on Thursdays at 7.30pm. Membership is simply having a life affected by someone else's drinking, whether that person is a partner, parent, adult child or friend, and that person never needs to set foot in a meeting themselves. As an open meeting, no one will be turned away, and you do not need to have been before or to know anyone else in the room. Meetings of this length, around an hour and a half, are typical for the group, and it finishes at about 9pm with no need to book a place.

Common questions

Can I come on my own, without the person who drinks?

Yes. This meeting is for you rather than for the person whose drinking has affected your life, and plenty of members attend alone, sometimes for years, without that person ever coming to Al-Anon themselves.

Do I need to let someone know I am coming?

No advance notice is required. Al-Anon meetings are free, unbooked, and open to anyone who turns up at the start time.

Does this meeting run all year round?

Yes, it is a weekly meeting held every Thursday at 7.30pm, so you can turn up on any Thursday without checking first.
