Courtyard Market

Walford Mill boasts a beautiful courtyard that sits in front of the Mill’s main entrance and alongside the river Allen, one of Europe’s purest wild chalk rivers. The courtyard is used today for a variety of events as well as being an outdoor space for visitors to relax, sit and enjoy a refreshment from the onsite café.

The Mill’s grounds have welcomed craft markets, musical and theatrical events, creative makers outdoor workshops, fitness classes, and much more over the years, and are also available to rent (through an approved application process).

Monthly markets are now held every second Saturday of the Month, musical events are often held into the early evening with refreshments provided by the on-site café and the popular Christmas Markets are always bustling with shoppers looking to support local makers and soak up the atmosphere.
