Courses and workshops

Building on the success of our highly popular Bakery and Bushcraft courses, which have been running for a couple of years, we've now introduced a range of one-off Mill workshops in subjects close to our heart.

Covering music, traditional rural arts and crafts, artisan cooking, gardening and the environment, they are led by experienced members of our Mill team, or other local experts.  All course leaders have knowledge, experience and passion for their subjects, making them ideal hosts.

Our courses are delivered on-site at the Mill, or in the surrounding countryside, year-round.

See below for a listing of our scheduled courses and workshops.

If you are interested in a bespoke course, designed and delivered to meet the specific needs of your group, please don't hesistate to contact us on 01395 568521.
