Finding the site:
Search for ‘The Stoke Inn BS40 8XE’.
Once there head down the road opposite the Stoke Inn- Wallycourt Road. About 500 yards down the road on the right, you will see a small lane next to a boat filled with plants, a National Speed Limit sign and a Dead End sign.
Drive up that lane and carry on up the hill until you cant go any further, and you’ll find the venue on the right.
We will put some signs up to make it as easy as possible.
