About this meeting
Canterbury's Saturday night AA meeting is held at 7pm at Canterbury Baptist Church on St George's Place, opposite Waitrose — a handy landmark for finding it. The meeting lasts an hour and is closed, which means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; the term describes who the meeting is for, not a locked door, and newcomers wanting to stop are warmly received. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting, so check ahead if you need it. Like all AA meetings it is free to attend, with no booking, referral or paperwork of any kind.
Common questions
Am I allowed in if I've never been to AA before?
Yes. Closed only means the meeting is for people who have a desire to stop drinking — first-timers with that desire are exactly who it is for.
Is there a cost or booking system?
No. It is free, and you can simply arrive at the church just before 7pm on Saturday.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
That has not been confirmed for this meeting, so check in advance if you need step-free access.
