WALFORD MILL CRAFTS

About the Event
Walford Mill will this year again be taking part in the annual Dorset Architectural Heritage Week, which runs from 11th-20th September 2026.
The event at the mill is entitled "Walford Mill - From Millers to Makers - A Brief Historical Journey" and consists of a Talk followed by a Tour around the mill. It will take place on Wednesday 16th and again on Thursday 17th September, 11am at the Mill. Please note that this is a TICKET ONLY event, tickets should be obtained through the EDHT website.
Event summary:
Compiled from the Mill’s archive, this illustrated talk will cover highlights of the Mill’s history over 500 years. We’ll be looking at its origins, structural changes, subsequent uses and conversion to an arts and crafts centre. There will be time for a short tour inside the building (please mind your head) and outside too, weather permitting.
The presentation will be seated in the Mill’s Education Room on the ground floor. The building tour involves low ceiling beams and wooden staircases. Wheelchair access is available to the ground floor, gallery and mezzanine floor areas. Upper floors are only accessible only by wooden stairs.
Lunch and refreshments will be available at Little Pickle at the Mill cafe, across the courtyard.
