By car:

Gants Mill is in the South West of England, in east Somerset, half a mile south-west of Bruton, off the A359.

From the north and east, take the Yeovil road out of Bruton (A359), go under a railway bridge, uphill 100 yards, and first right into Gants Mill Lane. After 1/4 mile turn right over a cattle grid.

From the south-west, turn sharp back left off the A359 into Gants Mill Lane, after passing both Bruton School for Girls and Sexey's School.

The junction of the lane and the main road is at the end of a long stone wall, with a black door set in it. There are road signs on the main road, pointing the way down the lane to the mill.

Go down the lane for 1/4 mile, then when you see the sign, turn right over a cattle grid.

There is a clearly signed area for visitors' cars.

By train:
Bruton itself does have a small train station. There is a regular service from London Paddington to Castle Carey and from there you can get another train to Bruton or pick up a taxi straight to the venue.

The music sadly has to end at 11.30pm and all guests are requested to leave by midnight. You are strongly advised to book a taxi in advance. This is rural Somerset people, there is no Uber!

For guests staying in Bruton itself there is a short ramble along a lane back into the village. You will need a torch!
