About this meeting
On Tuesdays the lunchtime meeting at Downing Place United Reformed Church takes its turn, running from 12 noon to 1pm on Downing Street in central Cambridge. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which simply means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; there is no other test, and someone walking in for the first time is as welcome as a member of long standing. The venue's weekday pattern, with the same meeting held Monday through Friday, makes it easy to build a daily habit early in recovery, when frequent meetings help most. The church is wheelchair accessible. Attendance is free, anonymous and completely unbooked, and listening quietly is always enough.
Common questions
How often can I attend the lunchtime meetings?
As often as you like. Downing Place United Reformed Church hosts a lunchtime meeting every weekday from 12 noon to 1pm, and many people early in recovery attend several days a week.
Does closed mean I need an invitation?
No. Closed only means the meeting is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. No invitation, referral or booking exists in AA; you simply turn up.

Yes, the church on Downing Street is wheelchair accessible. The Tuesday meeting runs from 12pm to 1pm and is free.
