โจ๏ธ Whole at The Place in Bedford
Wednesday 04 September 2193

Whole is an intimate peek into the journeys we take to re-find ourselves in our darkest moments - exploring female rage, sibling joy & the healing power of a creative mission.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 25 October 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 27 September 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 13 September 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 06 September 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.
๐ What they'll earn
We'll present your pet lover with an official Pet Pals certificate & sticker, along with colouring sheets to keep the fun going at home.
๐ง For pet lovers aged 4-10 years
Our workshops are specifically geared towards younger children, with content and activities that are safe, supervised and most of all fun. To allow enough room for everyone (and avoid spooking our animals), places are limited to one adult per child.

There are Pets at Home stores taking part in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & Hertfordshire locations. Hit the event link button below, enter your postcode to find your nearest store to book. Spaces are limited.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 23 August 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 16 August 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 09 August 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

We will meet at 5pm to set up camp. After a welcome briefing there will be a chance to play games or try a nature craft followed by time to enjoy your picnic. We will set up a moth trap. There will then be an opportunity to explore the reserve at dusk with bat detectors, listen for owls and find what might glow in the dark. Following this there will be hot drinks and marshmallows and if the sky is clear some stargazing.
In the morning we will take a look at who slept in the moth trap followed by a light breakfast and an optional short early morning walk around the reserve where we can bug hunt and play a spotting game. Then it will be time to pack down, say goodbye and return the campground to nature.

We strive to be wheelchair accessible. We provide disabled parking next to our farm shop and in front of the steakhouse entrance. Accessible toilets are available in both the steakhouse and tea room. Additionally, we have gravel paths throughout our zoo and woodland walk to facilitate wheelchair access.

๐น WHAT TO EXPECT
This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.
๐ What they'll earn
We'll present your pet lover with an official Pet Pals certificate & sticker, along with colouring sheets to keep the fun going at home.
๐ง For pet lovers aged 4-10 years

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 02 August 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.

This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.

This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.

๐ง For pet lovers aged 4-10 years
Our workshops are specifically geared towards younger children, with content and activities that are safe, supervised and most of all fun. To allow enough room for everyone (and avoid spooking our animals), places are limited to one adult per child.

This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.
๐ What they'll earn
We'll present your pet lover with an official Pet Pals certificate & sticker, along with colouring sheets to keep the fun going at home.
๐ง For pet lovers aged 4-10 years
Our workshops are specifically geared towards younger children, with content and activities that are safe, supervised and most of all fun. To allow enough room for everyone (and avoid spooking our animals), places are limited to one adult per child.

โน๏ธ ABOUT
Follow the pulse-racing journey as Professor Robert Langdon, and fellow cryptologist Sophie Neveu attempt to solve the riddles, leading to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and beyond, deep into the vault of history. With guidance from teacher and friend Sir Leigh Teabing, Langdon and Neveu embark on a breathless race through the streets of Europe. The pair must decipher the labyrinthine code before a shocking historical secret is lost forever.
Based on the best-selling novel of this century, with over 100 million copies sold, unlock the secrets of The Da Vinci Code in this superb stage adaptation of the international phenomenon and uncover the truth in the greatest thriller of the past 2000 years.
โI am thrilled that The Da Vinci Code is being adapted for the stage, and excited to see the unique potential of live theatre enhance the story. The play is faithful to the book, but will also bring something new for the audience, in what is certain to be a gripping, fast-paced stage thriller and a thoroughly entertaining show.โ Dan Brown

โ๏ธ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 26 July 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
โ๏ธ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
๐ณ THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
๐ HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.
