Groups & Schools
Groups are always welcome including schools, youth groups, special interest groups and others.
We can offer guided tours of the building to include trips up the mill tower to view the internal workings of the mill, talks on the history and baking demonstrations. On the first floor of the mill house we can offer a group meeting and activity room.
