News from Stotfold Watermill

The Mill is a rather strange, slightly gloomy place in midwinter. With few visitors, other than the indomitable Scouts and other groups who brave the chill to learn about Stotfold’s history, the building sits quiet, unheated, dozing away the colder months.

But not for long! By the time you read this, we will have held our first Volunteer Recruitment event for 2023, and hopefully some of you reading this will now be Mill volunteers! If you’re reading this and aren’t yet a volunteer but would like to The Steam Fayre, planned for May. be…please get in touch. Being a Mill volunteer is a lot of fun, and it’s completely up to you how much time you give – anything from an hour once in a while to a whole day every week. Every little counts! We also urgently need new trustees to join our Board to keep the Mill running – please do let us know if you can

offer your time or experience.

We’re also planning our opening hours for 2023, making sure we have the right people in the right places to welcome our visitors back again throughout the

spring and summer.

Event: The Steam Fair! Work has been going on, behind the scenes, as part of our preparations: sorting out the storage compound at the back of the Mill, new fences along the outside of the Mill; and plenty is going on with planning our next Major

This popular annual event is taking place on 13th and 14th May – pop it in your diary! As always, it will be a fun-filled weekend, with lots of arena entertainment, as many steam engines as we can fit into the showground, the funfair and plenty more to see and do. And, of course, we’ll have Live@TheMill. Check our website for details – but we can confirm that DeLorean and Allergy will be joining the line up.

So, book out your diary for the 13th and 14th May, and if you’ve got any spare time, send us an email and sign up as a volunteer.
