About this meeting

Durham Old Elvet Meditation offers a quieter start to the weekend: a Saturday morning AA meeting at 9.30am, held for an hour at The Hut, 21 Chestnut Grove in Ushaw Moor, on the west side of Durham. Entry is at the right-hand side of the church; press the buzzer and head up the stairs to the right, where the meeting room is. As an open meeting it welcomes anyone, including family, friends and professionals, alongside people who want to stop drinking. Note that the room is up a flight of stairs, which may matter if steps are difficult for you. There is no charge and no booking; ring the buzzer a few minutes before 9.30am and you will be let in.
