How do I get there?
Mickleover Community Centre was originally the Victorian school, situated on Uttoxeter Road, the main road through Mickleover village.

By car
If using a satnav, enter the postcode DE3 0DA.

Parking
There are a number of nearby car parks and on-road parking available.
Limited parking is available at the back of the Community Centre (accessible past the Mickleover Library on Vicarage Road and Holly End Road).
There is a public car park in the shopping area opposite the Community Centre.
There are a limited number of parking spaces on The Square next to the nearby Masons Arms pub.
Tesco, Mickleover is close by and has a large car park available to customers with free parking up to 3 hours.
Please check all restrictions before parking as the Club cannot be responsible for any penalties that may be issued.

By Bus
The local bus service is provided by Trent Barton and is called ‘The Mickleover’
There are two services (Blue and Green) which run in alternate directions around the ‘Ladybank Estate’ nearby and depart Derby Bus Station at 10-minute intervals on Saturday and 15-minute intervals on Sunday. To get to the show, it is best to use the ‘Green’ service as that has a more direct route every 20 minutes (30 minutes on Sunday) – however to return, it is better to use the ‘Blue’ service.
The nearest stops to the Community Centre are Vicarage Road and Tesco.

There is also the ‘Villager’ service which is slightly quicker and runs every 30 minutes on Saturday and every hour on Sunday.
More information can be found on the Trent Barton Buses website.  https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/.
