This place has all the love of classic dive bars if that is your scene. Good music and friendly faces. Interesting fact -- the owner was going to sell it but the locals really wanted to hold on to it. He offered it to them if they could take up a collection and buy it -- and they did! Peter Gabriel is also one of the co-owners.

Great venue, cheap bar, lovely staff, and super easy to get to as multi-storey car park next door is free parking. It's a hidden gem in Trowbridge, so I'm aware of it, I'm always checking upcoming events, and have already bought comedy tickets for Christmas presents, as I know its so easy to get to for my parents.

This is a bit of a hidden gem. They have lots of good shows and bands playing. You can have a drink and generally have a good time. It is not a huge great place and because of this, it has a better atmosphere. You are never far from the stage and wherever you are seated, you have a good view. It is situated in a good area of town if you want to go to a local restaurant after the show, to round your evening off. There is car parking about 5 minutes walk away.

This is a soft-play area inside Studley Grange Garden Centre.. in amongst all the craft shops…read more Great location although probably difficult for those who have no means of transport other than public as there are no bus routes that way and there is no footpath to get into Studley Grange. This would be no good for the older kids. But for toddlers and smaller children it would be perfect. There are two sections, each section has tables for the adults to sit and relax. There is a security gate to stop any children from escaping. One one side is a little climbing area, a see-saw, a ball-shooter.. and on the other side is a big area for babies and toddlers to play in, plus a big ball-pit with a slide and other fun things. You pay for the time you spend there and it's usually calculated by the half-hour. So if you decided to pop in there for an hour, it will work out cheaper than if you went to Kidz About or Jolly Rogers for an hour. Café facilities are good, they don't do hot food although there is a bigger café in the building that does do hot food. Staff are always lovely and friendly.

I was impressed by how well organized the whole place was especially the parking in the field. Then when the main entry gate had a long line within a minute of this the gate was opened on the second side. Staff were friendly and it's a huge site at Thruxton. Things I would improve are better catering options and more modern toilets on one side, the toilets by the catering outlet look relatively new inside a modern building.
