Sacrewell Great North Road Thornhaugh PE8 6HJ Mill opening weekend

Mill opening weekend

Multiple dates from Saturday July 18th to Sunday July 19th


Sacrewell will be celebrating the power of water on 18 and 19 July when the 19th Sacrewell Steam hosted by the Peterborough Society of Model Engineers rolls onto site.

The event coincides with the opening of Sacrewell’s 18th Century grade II* listed watermill after the completion of a £1.8m restoration project part funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The watermill and its associated buildings have been restored to full working order, incorporating a small hydro-electric water turbine and interpretation of the site which dates back to Roman Times.

The mill will also be turning the water wheel and you can meet some of the characters who have kept the ancient skill alive throughout the centuries.

Sacrewell Mill will be open to members only on 18 July and the general public on 19 July. Normal farm admission applies.
