As the colder nights and darker days set in, and fuel bills continue to be… challenging… don’t forget that there are designated ‘Warm Spaces’ in Melksham where you can go if you are struggling to keep warm at home. You can also go to these locations just to be around other people or sit quietly with a warm drink.
Melksham Library and Community Campus also have additional facilities such as the Poolside Cafe, community jigsaw puzzles and of course all the lovely books! They also host regular drop-in sessions and events such as Melksham Chatty Cafe, Crazy About Knitting and Rhyme Times. More info on Melksham Library's regular events can be found on their Facebook page or on our website here.
