Arkonik

Arkonik is a specialist restorer and retailer of Land Rover Defenders, operating from a showroom and workshop at Lakeside Park, Mells, on the outskirts of Frome. The business focuses on full rebuilds, bespoke restorations and exports of classic and modern Defenders.

Visitors can view finished vehicles and ongoing restoration work on an industrial estate site. The premises are a working workshop and showroom rather than a tourist attraction, so practical planning (timing, transport, and contact) is recommended before a visit.

What you'll see

• A showroom displaying fully restored and modified Land Rover Defenders ready for sale.
• Workshop bays with active restoration work and examples of body, paint and interior craftsmanship.
• Staff who can explain specification options, rebuild processes and export logistics.

Best way to experience it

• Call ahead or email to confirm showroom opening and arrange a time—Arkonik operates from a commercial/industrial site rather than a public museum.
• Combine a visit with time in Frome (10–15 minutes drive) for food or accommodation; allow 30–60 minutes to view vehicles and speak with staff.

• Showroom and workshop are on Lakeside Business Park (industrial estate), not a town-centre location.
• Limited public transport; driving recommended and there is on-site parking.
• Phone contact (listed in business directories) is useful to confirm viewing times.
• This is a working restoration facility—expect some noise and restricted access to active work areas.
