FROM PALETINE ROAD
When you drive towards the Meeting House from Palatine road, after the overhead motorway bypass there is a bus stop on the left and immediately after a feeder lane on the right to turn into the Meeting House. It’s a bit of a complicated junction but using the feeder lane makes it easier.
The Meeting House is opposite the large park (Wythenshaw Park and Gardens) From the feeder lane you will see a very small drive (enough space to fit one car) with a black gate which opens on to the drive way and car park, enough space for around eight cars.
FROM WYTHENSHAW
From Wythenshaw road way, it is the very last building on the left and comes as a bit of a surprise. So if you go under the motorway and see Britannia Hotel on your left you have gone too far. You need to turn round and use the above instructions.
