Planning your journey to the show:
To plan your journey by car, foot, and/or public transport we recommend using
the Transport Direct web site.
Car Parking at the show:
There is a small car park almost opposite the Christie Miller Sports Centre
but this can fill quickly during the mornings. Additional car parking will be
provided on the running track located behind the centre. Access to this is a
little further along the road past the front entrance to the centre. A footpath
runs from the running track to the front of the centre. There will be direction
signs for the car park.
In addition there are a few disabled parking bays available immediately in front
of the entrance doors to the centre. These will also have signs on display.
Blue badge holders will be able to park on the double yellow lines outside the
centre.
From the north, or from the M4 junction 17.

and keep on this road around the Melksham bypass (Western Way). At the second
roundabout (approaching in left hand lane) take the A365 Devizes road. At the
next roundabout take the right-hand exit (signed Bowerhill / Sports Centre)
and again the right-hand exit at the subsequent roundabout, at the start of
