Where's Wheelock?

Admittedly a little off the beaten track but still easy to find.

By car from the Crewe/Nantwich area follow Sandbach signs from Crewe until you get to the Winterley/Wheelock roundabout on the A534 then take the first exit and follow the road into the village.

From Middlewich follow the Sandbach road as far as Elworth then take the first right after the station bridge and follow the signs to Wheelock.

From Junction 17 on the M6 follow the A534 to Sandbach, go straight on at the traffic lights, take the second exit at the first roundabout (signed for Middlewich) then take the first exit at the next roundabout (signed for Wheelock).

There is restricted on-site parking and the main road through the village has yellow lines on it for good reason. Safe street parking can be found nearby on Mill Lane (beyond the Nags Head) or Forge Fields (over the canal bridge from the venue).

For visitors travelling by public transport there are buses from Crewe, route numbers 37 and 38 operated by Arriva, the 37 goes to/from Winsford via Middlewich and the 38 runs through to/from Congleton and Macclesfield. The nearest railway stations are Sandbach (bus 37 only) and Crewe (served by both routes).
