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.
Take the A350 south via the Chippenham bypass. Continue on the A350 to Melksham, 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 Bowerhill Industrial Estate. This is Lancaster Road, follow it round the left hand bend, and the Christie Miller Sports Centre is halfway down on the right hand side, with a car park almost opposite.

From the south.
Approach via the A350 from Westbury. Take the A365 Devizes road at the first roundabout approaching the town, the right-hand exit.

This is Lancaster Road, follow it round the left hand bend, and the Christie Miller Sports Centre is halfway down on the right hand side, with a car park almost opposite.

From the Bath direction.
Approach via the A365, and join the A350 just after crossing over the railway line. Follow the A350 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 Bowerhill Industrial Estate.

From the Devizes direction.
Take the A361 then the A365. On the approach to Melksham, take the left-hand exit at the large roundabout (signed Bowerhill / Sports Centre) then the right-hand exit at the subsequent roundabout, at the start of Bowerhill Industrial Estate.
