About this meeting
The village of Hatfield Peverel, in the Chelmsford district of Essex, hosts its own Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Wednesday at 7.30pm at St Andrews Church. The meeting lasts one hour and is open, so anyone may attend: people who have a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends, and professionals wanting to understand how AA works. For people living between Chelmsford and Witham, a village meeting can be far easier to get to than travelling into town, and some prefer the discretion of a smaller community setting. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and nothing to arrange in advance; arrive shortly before 7.30pm and you will be made welcome.

Is St Andrews Church accessible?
Yes, the church is wheelchair accessible. The meeting starts at 7.30pm on Wednesdays and finishes at 8.30pm.
