Ever wondered how flour is made? This summer book your own family mini milling session on the top floor of the mill and experience it for yourself! During your 30 minute session, you’ll work together using mini hand mills to mill your very own bag of fresh wholemeal flour to take home, ready to use with your chosen recipe.

Spaces are limited so book early to secure your preferred date and time. Mini Milling sessions are suitable for children age 4+ and they must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The experience costs £15 per group and includes a 30 minute mini milling session, a 500g bag of wholemeal flour and a recipe card to take away. Maximum group size of 5.

Torches can be reserved from Lyme Regis Carnival website or from 8pm on the evening of the event (subject to availability) at the entrance to Langmoor Gardens. Demand is always high for this event so it is advisable to reserve your torches in advance to avoid disappointment.

More about Axmouth

Devon, England

Axmouth sits right on the Devon coast where the sea breeze keeps things breezy and the local pubs usually know a thing or two about a good night out. With no specific venues listed in the facts, we'll just say that there's plenty of room to wander along the shore or pop into a local shop for a chat. The town has a quiet charm that makes it perfect for a lazy afternoon or a brisk walk with the dogs. It doesn't need to be packed full of crowds to feel like there is something interesting going on around every corner.
