⚙️ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 06 September 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
⚙️ 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.
🌳 THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
📖 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.

🎪 MATT RAWLE STARS AS THE WORLD’S GREATEST SHOWMAN
Matt Rawle (Cabaret, Evita, Les Misérables) takes centre stage as legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum. Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse, this spectacular production features an extraordinary ensemble of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and amazing circus acts.
From ambitious dreams to breathtaking risks, Barnum’s story unfolds in a whirlwind of imagination, showbiz and larger-than-life entertainment. Audiences can expect delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for.
🎵 WHAT TO EXPECT
Barnum first wowed UK audiences at the London Palladium, where Michael Crawford famously took to the tightrope night after night. Now Matt Rawle follows in those footsteps - and on to the wire - in a production bursting with theatrical flair.
Come follow the band with glorious music by multi-award winner Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart and a book by Mark Bramble, featuring classic songs including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.
⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY
This show includes smoke, haze, gunshots, fire, loud noises, flashing lights, darkness, balloons and clowns, and depicts racism, slavery, and exploitation of human and animal performers in the 19th-century entertainment industry.
🎟 TICKET COST: From £15.60
▪️Please note: A booking fee of £3.95 is applied to each order.

🎪 MATT RAWLE STARS AS THE WORLD’S GREATEST SHOWMAN
Matt Rawle (Cabaret, Evita, Les Misérables) takes centre stage as legendary 19th century showman P.T. Barnum. Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle and choreographed by Oti Mabuse, this spectacular production features an extraordinary ensemble of over 20 actor-musicians, acrobats and amazing circus acts.
From ambitious dreams to breathtaking risks, Barnum’s story unfolds in a whirlwind of imagination, showbiz and larger-than-life entertainment. Audiences can expect delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for.
🎵 WHAT TO EXPECT
Barnum first wowed UK audiences at the London Palladium, where Michael Crawford famously took to the tightrope night after night. Now Matt Rawle follows in those footsteps - and on to the wire - in a production bursting with theatrical flair.
Come follow the band with glorious music by multi-award winner Cy Coleman, lyrics by Michael Stewart and a book by Mark Bramble, featuring classic songs including Join the Circus, Colours of My Life, Come Follow the Band and Love Makes Such Fools of Us All.
⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY
This show includes smoke, haze, gunshots, fire, loud noises, flashing lights, darkness, balloons and clowns, and depicts racism, slavery, and exploitation of human and animal performers in the 19th-century entertainment industry.
🎟 TICKET COST: From £15.60
▪️Please note: A booking fee of £3.95 is applied to each order.
