About this meeting

Rawtenstall's Wednesday night meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is held at 7.30pm at Longholme Methodist Church on Bacup Road, in the centre of the town, and runs for an hour and a half. It is one of two weekly meetings at the church, alongside the Sunday step meeting, giving Rossendale a regular midweek fixture. This is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that includes anyone attending for the first time, however unsure they are about the label. Family and friends are asked to find an open meeting. Longholme is listed as wheelchair accessible for this meeting, and there is no cost or booking involved.

Common questions

What does it mean that the meeting is closed?

Do I need to pay or book a place?
