Parking available on street or in Russell Street Car Park - Free after 6pm
Tavistock Big Book Experience meets early on Monday evenings, at 6.30pm, in the United Reformed Church at 1 Russell Street, and runs for an hour. The group reads and shares on the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous's basic text, keeping the focus on how its programme of recovery works in practice.

Parking is straightforward: there is on-street parking nearby, and the Russell Street Car Park is free after 6pm, half an hour before the meeting starts. As with all AA meetings there is no cost and nothing to book.
