About this meeting

Wednesday lunchtimes bring a closed AA meeting to the Memorial Chapel at St Cuthbert's Church on Lothian Road, right in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, starting at 1pm. Edinburgh Lothian Road is well placed for anyone working nearby who wants to use a lunch break for a meeting rather than travelling further afield in the evening. As a closed group it is intended for those with a desire to stop drinking, which is the only condition for attending. The meeting lasts around an hour. Wheelchair access to the Memorial Chapel has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if step-free access is essential.

Common questions

Who is this meeting for?

This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Newcomers are welcome as long as that describes them, including people early in sobriety or simply exploring whether AA is for them.

Is it free, and do I need to book?

There is no charge and no booking system. You can turn up on the day without contacting anyone beforehand. A basket is usually passed round for voluntary donations to cover the room hire, but paying is never a condition of attending.

Does the Memorial Chapel have wheelchair access?

This has not been confirmed, so anyone who needs step-free access should contact the group in advance to check.
