How to find us & your TENT / pitch

**Type “Chalkney Water Meadows”into Google Maps which brings you directly to the main entrance - this is the best route** W3W Locations App and type in power.remotest.confetti

Should you not have Google Maps, the nearest post code (CO6 2PP) will bring you to a van garage called Colne Commercials on the A1124. To the east of the van garage (under the telephone pylon) is a large entrance with wooden signs “Chalkney Water Meadows”. The gate should be open for your arrival, please drive down the track and veer left into the meadow car park. The glamping village is located approximately 100m from the main reception area.

Once you have parked follow signs to the venue and glamping areas. You will find your Bell Tent with the name corresponding to the Bell Tent you have been emailed.

Pitch your own tents/campers are to go in the meadow space next the Giant Hat Tipis (please leave an access way for suppliers), and please do not leave your car in the meadow, all cars are to be parked in the car park.
