Marsh Mill's 221st Birthday celebration poster updated

Come and celebrate Marsh Mill's 221st Birthday

The Big Draw Event - Create an Owl

As part of this years Big Draw, visitors can create a quick owl as part of their visit.
See photos of those created so far…simple to do, and so much fun! (such an ingenious idea which is not only cheap and cheerful, but also good for the environment too!)

We are also still doing Bubble Paintings, which are all going to be made into bunting for our special birthday event from Friday 23rd October. So thank you to all those who have made some so far - there's just one more weekend left to make some more, before the excitement begins.

INKPOT EXHIBITION from today until - 25th October

The exhibition from INKPOT, a St. Anne's based company, focuses on the nostalgia and excitement of travel style posters - with a strong sense of our heritage and family outings all encapsulated within these vibrant and fresh illustrative posters.

JUDY GARSIDE EXHIBITION

Local Artist Judy Garside moved to Thornton a couple of years ago. Enthusiastic about watercolour painting, predominantly florals, she has shared her work in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Her favourite artists are Monet and Hockney.

Marsh Mill Pop-Up Exhibition for National Mills Weekend

Friends of Marsh Mill and Marsh Mill Volunteers are on hand to meet and greet visitors and provide up to date information on Marsh Mill and it's current repair programme. As part of National Mills weekend, there will also be information on other Mills and a display of Windmill models. As the theme is "Mills in Art" - children can come and draw a windmill. There will also be a display from local Artists of Mill paintings for sale. We are above Tiffin's cafe, opposite Marsh Mill Tavern in Units 6A and 7A. Access is via the side stairway.
Forms will also be available for joining Friends of Marsh Mill - £5 per annum for individuals, £10 per family.

Gallery re-opening date

Due to the ongoing maintenance repairs to Marsh Mill, we are still awaiting the opening dates for both the Mill and subsequently the Kiln House Gallery. We were hoping for an Easter opening, but due to the extensive nature of the current repairs, the re-opening could be slightly later. As soon as we have a date, creative business can resume as usual. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The opening exhibition for the new season will be:
