⭐️
The mill is a working machine not just a building. Care should be taken when moving around the premises as some surfaces are greasy and some have a risk of splinters.

⭐️ There are low beams and trip hazards along with steep, narrow stairs.

⭐️ Only a limited number of people can access the upstairs at a time – so you may have to wait.

⭐️ Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

⭐️ There are no toilet facilities available.

🎫 ADMISSION - FREE
Admission is free but donations towards the upkeep are very much welcome.

🅿️ PARKING
Parking is in Nightingale Court, off Wheelers Lane. There is no access to the mill from Mill Lane (off Bradwell Road).
