Maidstone Welcome meets on Friday evenings at a quarter past seven on Marsham Street, running for an hour and a quarter. Despite its name, this is a members-only meeting for people who have a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for visitors, though the welcoming format is aimed at helping members feel at ease as the week's meetings wind down. The Marsham Street venue is wheelchair accessible, matching the Tuesday beginners meeting held at the same address. Marsham Street sits within Maidstone town centre, making the meeting a convenient Friday evening option for anyone already familiar with the fellowship locally.
