Coming from Trowbridge
Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire and was once a centre of the West Country wool trade. County Hall brings a lot of office workers into town.
It is a drive, so we would only suggest it for the Masterclass or a private team day. For a group of six, splitting into two cars makes it easy.
We will be honest: 70 minutes is a drive. Classes run Tuesday to Thursday, so make a day of it with the Masterclass and a walk by the Thames. Private groups from Trowbridge can ask about other days.
