Easing congestion at Middlewick House Open Garden

We have listened to your feedback regarding the queueing and congestion around our event with the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust. Working with Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire Council and local landowners, we have provided a solution to the difficulties caused by so many people wanting to come to the event. Our sincere thanks to landowners Steve Jones and William Taylor for their help.

We will now be opening a separate entrance for cars heading on to the site from Chippenham. They can turn into a field before Middlewick Lane, which means far less congestion. There will also be AA signs on the network of roads near Middlewick to divert non-event traffic.

The event will open an hour earlier at 10am and close later at 5pm and features more caterers to offer extra choice and reduce queueing times. There will also be live music, children’s activities and play area, stalls and other entertainment.

As ever we are indebted to Nick and Annette Mason for opening up their home and to all the residents for their patience, as well as the exhibitors, stallholders, and the army of volunteers who work tirelessly to make it a success.

We look forward to seeing you there!
