Creative Getaways

Our Creative Getaway programme is an opportunity for creatives and collaborators to come together at The Mill to work on their own projects. Removed from distractions of everyday life, it is an immersive opportunity to develop your new ideas and be devoted solely to cultivating your own artistic projects.

This residency will appeal to ceramicists, artists, writers, poets, choreographers, photographers, musicians, thespians, comedians… you name it.

We have tailored our pricing structure to encourage you to stay for the maximum 3 weeks stay - EVERYONE says that one week is just not long enough!

HOWEVER, we get it, sometimes its just not possible to get away from longer, so we have included one & two week stays.


Creative Getaways

All inclusive 1 to 3 week stays

Get inspired alongside our talented & super friendly guest artists!

The perfect opportunity to (re)connect to your creativity, be in nature & escape the everyday. Our Getaways are OPEN TO ALL!  No previous creative experience necessary, just the desire to ditch the day job & do something different!

It’s hard to describe in words how special a place this was for us. We had a magical and very productive time at The Mill during our recent stay. The Mill offered lots of spaces to work in, get inspired by and explore.
