About this meeting

Colchester Prettygate Wednesday is an Al-Anon Family Groups meeting held in Colchester, Essex, for partners, parents, adult children and friends of people whose drinking has affected them. It meets every Wednesday at 7.30pm at Prettygate Baptist Church, 25-27 Prettygate Road, and lasts around an hour and a half. It runs as an open meeting, welcoming anyone wanting to find out what Al-Anon offers, alongside its regular members. Al-Anon's only membership requirement is having a relative or friend whose drinking has affected you, and members share their own experience of coping, rather than trying to get anyone else to stop drinking.

Common questions

Do I have to bring the person whose drinking has affected me?

No. Al-Anon meetings are for you, in your own right, and many members attend on their own and never bring the person whose drinking has affected them. The only requirement for attending is that someone else's drinking has affected your life.

Is there a cost to attend, and do I need to book?

There is no charge and no need to book. Al-Anon meetings are free to attend; simply arrive a few minutes before the start time and take a seat.

How long does the meeting last?

The Wednesday meeting runs for about an hour and a half, starting at 7.30pm.
