Manchester City Centre Big Book Study meets every Thursday evening at 6pm at the Village Hall on Deansgate Mews. It is an open AA meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking or simply want to learn more by joining a book study session. As the name suggests, the meeting works through the Big Book together rather than following an open-share format. It runs for about an hour and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Deansgate Mews sits just off Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village, close to Deansgate and Manchester Piccadilly stations, making it an easy after-work meeting to reach.
