By the time we are open again it is anticipated that we will have full stocks of both white and wholemeal flour as well as our extremely popular porridge oats available to purchase in our Kingfisher shop. Even before we open to the general public our calendar is filling with group bookings for mill tours and refreshments in the Randall’s Tea room. If you are a member of a social interest group now is the time to investigate the opportunities for an interesting guided tour of the mill, preceded with a presentation of the mill’s history and the story of its restoration and ending with delicious refreshments. The Education Team have already taken a number of bookings for visits by youth groups keen to learn about the working of the mill and production of flour from grain, or to explore the wildlife in the nature reserve. We look forward to welcoming many more visits by youngsters from members of scouting groups etc. as well as school parties of all ages. For more details see the guidance for educational visits on our website, www.stotfoldmill.com. The team will also be running holiday activities for children to be announced later. For us to continue with all these activities requires a large team of volunteers.
