Come and join us on Sunday 11th May from 2pm to 5pm for “Bread Creche” – your chance to talk and bake real bread!
To celebrate National Mills Weekend 2025, we’re firing up the Wood Fired Oven (ready at 3pm), so why not bring your dough ready to bake off? Over a cup of tea (or coffee), talk real bread with fellow bakers, get answers to those bread questions you’ve been desperate to ask. We’ll be talking hydrations, flour, autolyse, dough temperature, shaping, moulding, oven springing and much more!
The mill will be open and, wind permitting, working, the shop will be open and we will be serving tea, coffee and cakes.
The event is free, although, we’d be grateful for the odd donation to support the ongoing maintenance of the mill.
Other mills in our area are also open on Sunday 11th May – locally, Wicken Windmill, Burwell Windmill and you can view the Swaffham Prior Smock Mill from the outside.
If you’d like to bring dough to bake-off, please, ideally, let us know in advance (send us a message here) so we can plan the space in the wood fired oven!
