About this meeting
Exeter Thursday is a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting at 7.45pm at St Mark's Church Hall on Pinhoe Road, Exeter, Devon. The fellowship is for people affected by someone else's drinking, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, and is not aimed at the person who drinks. It is an open meeting, so first-time visitors, professionals and anyone wanting to learn more about Al-Anon can attend without prior notice. The session runs for an hour and a half, giving space for both newcomers and long-standing members to take part. There is no charge and no booking system; simply arrive shortly before 7.45pm and take a seat in the hall.
Common questions
Do I need to bring along the person I'm concerned about?
No, and most people don't. Al-Anon meetings are for the family member or friend, not the person who drinks, so you can attend entirely on your own.
Do I need to sign up before coming along?
No sign-up is needed. The meeting is free and open, so you can simply arrive on the day.
Do I need any experience of Al-Anon before I come?
No experience is needed. The meeting is open, so anyone attending for the first time can simply arrive and take part at their own pace.
