Owners, Mike and Rebecca Agate, purchased the mill in 2013.

They first applied for a grant in January 2017 to boost their marketing activity for the coming season and in 2018 a second application was approved so they could purchase a pizza oven and cinema equipment.

This has allowed Claythorpe to begin offering an outdoor cinema and pizza nights, which has been a big hit this summer.

Mike Agate, said: “The redevelopment of Claythorpe is a long-term project which we hope will make a difference to tourism growth in the area, as well as providing new things to do for people who live nearby.”
