Directions to the venue: Upper Grange, Lovedays Mead, Stroud, GL5 1XB
Upper Grange is located close to Stroud town centre and a 10-minute walk from the train station.
The postcode will take you to West Grange Court which is just across the road from Upper Grange, this is not where you should go!
Upper Grange is the last property on the right before Lovedays Mead turns into a smaller lane. There are big wooden gates (which are always left open) and an “Upper Grange” sign on the left gate
