August is upon us! And we are celebrating 40 years since the mill first opened as a craft centre, bringing with it Debby Kirby Debby Kirby Silk Weaver who has been the ‘heartbeat of the mill’ ever since!
Find her silk and paper woven artwork and colourful collaborations throughout the mill this August with her wonderful exhibition ‘Threaded Together’, hanging in both the main gallery and the pop up space, and of course in her mezzanine studio.
Later in the month you’ll find hand made millinery and fascinators by Jo Jangles Millinery and painting by Danielle Dawn Littlewood
This month there’s workshops for everyone
🍰 Paint, Coffee & Cake
🐚 Plaster casting shoreline treasures

And there’s the popular kids’ summer workshops returning - booking is essential! See website for details and how to book
Don’t forget it’s our craft market every second Saturday of the month - running 10-4pm
And you can watch creativity in action and buy direct from our friendly resident makers year round in their open studios/shops all across the ground floor, before treating yourself to a delicious lunch or cake in Little Pickle at the Mill as you watch the swans glide by on the river.
🚧 ongoing roadworks 🚧
You can still walk to us from Wimborne town centre via blind lane or along the river, but if you’re driving you’ll have to approach from Victoria Rd by the green man, driving past the hospital and turn right at the lights leading into Stone Lane. Through the road closed signs and turn left into Knobcrook Rd where the car park is open as usual.
