The site is currently undergoing an exciting restoration with work starting in earnest in October but with work on the bake house now complete and the on-site brewery re-roofed this is probably the only threshing demonstration where you can eat or drink the end product.

The café in the mill cottage will be open but will undergo a transformation over the winter.

The event runs from 11am until 4pm on both days with the brewery hosting a beer festival which will be on the go from 12noon until 10pm on Friday and Saturday and until 5pm on Sunday.

There is a lot more to see including stands, stalls, machinery displays and live music as well as the opportunity to explore the mill and climb the tower.
