Meet Melksham is a community showcase organised by Melksham Town Council, bringing together a wide range of local clubs, societies, charities, and community groups under one roof. The event is designed to help residents discover what’s happening in the town, find new interests, and connect with organisations they may wish to join or support.
Set out in a marketplace-style format, groups host information tables where visitors can chat, ask questions, and learn more about the activities and opportunities available locally. It’s a great chance to see the variety of community life in Melksham and to meet the people behind it.
The Melksham Lions Club will be attending and look forward to meeting visitors on the day.
