The Unison Club is located to the rear of the Shirehall on Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury. To access the club car park, turn down the access road that runs down the right hand side of the Sainsbury’s local near Lord Hill’s Column. You will immediately pass a barrier. Continue down this road and enter the car park that opens up on the left. The Unison club building is to the left hand side of this car park as you drive up. Access to the club is via a ramp at the right hand side of the club building alongside the cricket pitch.
