Please be aware
⭐️ 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).

​
🏛 MOOT HALL
Wander onto the village green and discover Moot Hall - a registered Ancient Monument. This delightful 15th century timber-framed building is unique, being the only known combined manor courthouse & market hall to have been built in Britain by a nunnery.

As well as Bunyan-related items, Moot Hall houses a collection of 17th century furniture and various small exhibitions, including beautiful Bedfordshire lace-making. (Which you can purchase here.) Moot Hall is run by a small team of volunteers, all of whom are knowledgeable about its history, so don't hesitate to ask them questions.

▪️PLEASE NOTE: Cash only in the shop.

💷 ADMISSION
There is no admission fee for individuals and families. Instead, we invite you to leave a donation, at the end of your visit, for whatever amount you feel your visit was worth.
​
🤔 WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
​Bring the family, perhaps have a picnic on the green. Follow that with a stroll around the ancient timber-framed buildings on Elstow's High Street and the Abbey church and ruins of the former Benedictine nunnery. Then round off your visit with a cuppa at the delightful Elstow Tea Garden or at Elstow Post Office's Cottage Tea Room or the Red Lion Pub (A Sizzling pub).

♿️ DISABLED ACCESS
There is one parking space at Moot Hall exclusively reserved for Blue Badge Holders.
Access to the upper floor of Moot Hall is via a flight of fairly steep stairs but there is a chair-lift. There are some raised beams in the downstairs floor which you will need to be able to step over and one bay may not be accessible to wider wheelchairs. Sorry, but Moot is, after all, an authentic medieval building!

🅿️ CAR PARKING
​There is a small car park adjacent to Moot Hall - only for people visiting the museum. - and this may be accessed from Church End.  There are also three spaces in a small lay-by on Church End, opposite Moot Hall. Also at the Abbey Church, which is at the western end of Church End, and a large car park at The Red Lion Pub.
