National Mills Weekend at Marsh Mill
Marsh Mill will once again open its doors to celebrate National Mills Weekend 2023.
National Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills. Until the advent of the steam engine, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes - from making flour, paper, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You can explore mills that produced, or still produce these products, some restored to working order, some derelict, some still working commercially.
Marsh Mill was constructed in 1794 and is a Grade II* listed tower windmill, one of the best in the UK with working machinery. It offers a unique introduction to milling of a bygone age.
The mill will be open from 11am to 3pm, and there is a small entrance which includes a guided tour, exhibitions and kiddies crafts.
