All taking place in the beautiful grounds of Melksham Court – a unique miniature estate exquisitely situated, framed in mature parkland and sheltered by the wooded hills above – an ancient hamlet with a history stretching back as far as the 12th century.
The current house itself is predominantly 17th century, with much of it being burned down during the civil war – although elements are believed to date back as far as around 1360. Melksham Court is understood to be the birthplace of William Tyndale – responsible for translating the bible into English.

- 10am – 3pm (fixed close time).
- Maximum 3 items per person.
- We will be collecting donations for Gloucestershire Food Banks and ask that guests provide a donation in exchange for valuations
