Handforth's Saturday teatime Alcoholics Anonymous meeting runs from 6pm to 7pm at St Mary's Methodist Church on Wilmslow Road, one of several AA meetings the church hosts each week. The one-hour format and early-evening time make it a practical option before the rest of Saturday night unfolds, which for many people in early sobriety is exactly when a meeting helps most. It is a closed meeting, for anyone who has a desire to stop drinking; if you are researching on behalf of someone else, the Sunday evening meeting at the same church is open to all. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking; arrive a few minutes early and someone will show you where to go.
