Getting there
About this meeting
Matlock is home to a weekly Al-Anon Family Groups meeting, held on Wednesdays at 7.30pm at Matlock Moor Methodist Church, Chesterfield Road. Anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking is welcome to consider themselves a member, including partners, parents, adult children and friends, and no one else needs to be present. This is an open meeting, so you are welcome to come along even if you are new to Al-Anon or still unsure whether it is right for you. It lasts around an hour and a half, ending at approximately 9pm; there is no booking system, so you can simply arrive and take a seat.
Common questions
Is this only for family members, or can friends attend as well?
Both. Al-Anon welcomes partners, parents, adult children and friends alike, anyone whose life is or has been affected by someone else's drinking, and no one needs to be a blood relative to belong.
Is there a sign-up process before my first visit?
No sign-up is needed. The meeting is free to attend and you do not need to contact the group before coming along.
What time does the meeting finish?
The meeting begins at 7.30pm and lasts roughly an hour and a half, so it wraps up at approximately 9pm.
