The café is accessible on level ground, with a couple of patches of gravel to traverse and a small lip from the gravel onto the barn floor. We offer tasty options for drinks and snacks that are dietary/allergen-conscious. The barn is fully open on two sides and we are dog-friendly!

THEATRE AT THE MILL
We love theatre, here At The Mill. We love storytelling. We love the experience of connection that is born from the perfect combination of story, audience, and place. So, we’ve constructed a new theatre in our beautiful gardens At The Mill! And we have some gorgeous theatrical offerings for you!
We cover some ground - from an internationally award-winning contemporary retelling of an Ancient Greek myth to a lovely family afternoon of magical children’s entertainment (and loads in between)! We also have the extra special treat of a pop-up bar to accompany all our evening events!
Our Theatre is outdoors, undercover, and run in line with current pandemic regulations. Please book as households or groups who are able to sit together and we will arrange seating accordingly. At The Mill is passionate about creative arts and community; we can’t wait to share these live shows with you, all from our very own locally-grown talents!

MUSIC AT THE MILL
Here At The Mill, we are big fans of music! We love a folk night in the back of a pub, we love a dance party under the skies, and Percy (our best 7-year-old fam member) absolutely loves his rock and roll. So we’ll be bringing some amazing live music to you on the grounds, in the gardens, At The Mill.
We’re excited to introduce you to local talent, original musicians, and national songwriters - we’re talking folk, funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, and perhaps a little punk! Whatever it is, whether it’s music from near or far, it comes with a seal of approval from a house full of music lovers! All outdoors and organised to be covid safe; we can’t wait to host these gigs, and we can’t wait to welcome you to them!
