Good morning lovely people 🥰
A little update the road closure is still in place!
There is NO ACCESS to us or the main car park at abbott’s wood at the junction via Caneheath (A22 approach)

PLEASE FOLLOW THE DIVERSION SIGNS ..or
alternatively you can reach us easier from the A27..

Sadly we have had to install cameras yet again as our signs are being taken down,next time i will put up the footage on social media for everyone to see the culprit👀

All the businesses in the area are suffering because of the road works that are in place ..
A little kindness goes along way !

There is sadly still a diversion in place,it’s far easier to reach us via the A27 turning at the crossways hotel.. via Baileys lane!
