South Essex meetings take place at Wickford Cricket Club, off Swan Lane, Wickford - 5 minutes walk from Wickford Station and 5 minutes drive from the A130 and A127.

 

In Wickford town centre, turn into Swan Lane from Runwell Road (Swans pub is on the corner); turn right into the entrance about 100' up on the right - marked Wickford Tennis Club.  This is an unmade road so beware of potholes.  Go straight ahead towards the tennis courts and then left at the end - you will see the clubhouse in front of you.  Car parking available on site.
