The Church Rooms are opposite the church entrance, a few steps down from the top of the steps from The Square. There is level access from the public highway to the Church Rooms but note that the 'highway' in this case is The Church Steps.
Axbridge Church itself is not the easiest to access because of the steps that lead up from The Square. Please see the Church Information -> Access link if you find steps difficult! We have a plan to provide level access - see the details.
There is limited 1 hour parking in The Square; note that this is regularly patrolled, including on Sunday. There are two car parks, in Old Church Road and Moorland Street, signposted from The Square.
