How to find us . . . .
MESC is situated between the BT Communications Centre and Brightwell's machinery auction site on Stoney Street, Madley. To access the site you'll need to take the track running adjacent to the Brightwell's compound (look for the green fence and MESC signs). Continue along the track for approximately 600m until it widens out into the signed carpark area. Park up and follow the signs to MESC - about a 200m walk. For those with mobility problems there is space for a couple of cars to park by the entrance gate - please continue straight along the parking area and follow the track that curves to the left.
