Directions to West Monkton Village Hall

The Hall site is located centrally within the village of Monkton Heathfield, just to the east of the Merry Monk pub on the A3259, approximately 3 miles from the centre of Taunton. The post code, for those with satnavs, is TA2 8NE: map reference is ST255268.

The A3259 links the A38 between Walford Cross and Bathpool, near the Monkton Elm Garden Centre, to the Priorswood area of Taunton. From Taunton follow the signs to  Monkton Heathfield.  From the A38, coming from the direction of Bridgwater, follow the signs for Minehead.

The Hall is easily accessed from the M5 motorway from junctions 24 or 25. The hall building is detached and set back from the main road through the village, and there is a drive in/out from the road and ample, free on-site parking.

Meetings and lectures are held at West Monkton Village Hall unless otherwise specified.  All meetings at West Monkton Village Hall are free to members, there is a modest levy of £5 for each visitor/guest.  The Group will have a plant stall and a book stall at most of the lectures listed, and will hold a Flower & Pot Plant of the Month Competition.
