About this meeting

Lough House at Ards Hospital on Church Street hosts a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Saturday evenings at 8.30pm. It is intended for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking, rather than for family, friends or professionals. There is no fee to attend and no need to book a place beforehand, so people can simply arrive shortly before the start. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed, so anyone who needs step-free access should check in advance. The Newtownards North Down group also runs two meetings on Sunday, making the weekend a busy period at this Church Street venue.
