CONTACT DETAILS
Please do get in touch. We'd love to say hello!
Meadowbrook is located nice and near to many of the main towns in central Wiltshire. If coming by car we'd really encourage you to try and car share where possible. We are situated on the outskirts of Melksham; just a 7 min drive from the centre of Melksham itself. It is a 17 min drive from Devizes and Chippenham and 20 min drive from Trowbridge. It is also just a 7 mins drive from the pretty and well-known village of Lacock.
We’d be so chuffed if you could try and car share where possible to try and cut down on those nasty emissions!
There is a parking for approx. 8 vehicles at Meadowbrook itself. Alternatively, you may park a little way up Woodrow Road and wander down. Please do park considerately so residents can access their properties. If parking at the site itself, enter through the front farm gate, drive through the small front field and into the car parking area by a small barn. Park your vehicle on this hard-standing area.

We recommend wearing sturdy, suppportive footwear as the ground can be uneven in places. Come with waterproof clothing as we are predominantly an outdoor setting. We can provide some waterproofs so don't panic if you have none.
