Whitchurch Silk Mill

Had the most amazing time today with Sue as our expert guide. The passion and desire to keep this skill alive is amazing. We took a group of elderly socially isolated ladies there today and they loved every minute of it. Thank you Sue for looking after us, your enthusiasm was intoxicating and you made us feel so looked after and welcome. You and your colleagues should be so very proud of what you have achieved. I heartily recommend a visit there. Thank you!

Third visit, but first time going through the mill. Fascinating and the staff prove a good visitor experience is all about the passion and knowledge of the staff rather than screen based interactives.

The coffee and food were as delicious as ever.

Have passed the sign to the mill many times on A34, but always during closing time. So at last I was able to visit during opening times and very pleased I did, very interesting and excellent knowledge of the industry when speaking to a young lady, sorry can't remember her name, she very informative and answered lots of questions my friend and I asked. My friend had fun dressing up in the costumes. We are all big kids. 😂 Thank you so much and the disabled lift was a god send. Will visit again. Well recommended.

*Did not go through the museum* - stopped for a wander through the shop, grabbed an ice-cream and enjoyed the grounds. Based on what I saw it was a lovely addition to a short walk around the town. One of the most pleasant places I've had a sit for a lunch snack in a while.

Close parking but imagine it gets full quickly in peak hours

Had a nice time visiting the museum, coffee and snack at the cafe, and feeding the ducks.

Blink and you'll miss it as you go past, but Whitchurch Silk Mill is a lovely place to simply drop in for coffee and cake, watch the beautiful River Test flow past the mill, or take in the whole silk mill experience in the old mill museum. The setting is lovely, and you can sit in either of the two garden spaces next to the river on a nice day, or in the pleasant cafeteria if the weather doesn't suit. Staff are lovely, and the food is freshly prepared and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely lovely time. I tried weaving. Excellent lunch , coronation chicken, and drink . Beautiful gardens , feed ducks lovely mill walk great time.

Great tapestry exhibition and wonderful to chat to the lady threading up 100 ends per inch of fine silk on her loom. Beautiful setting with lovely autumn colours. Nice to finish with a coffee in the cafe.

If you love history, heritage, and want to take a break, Whitchurch Silk Mill is a nice spot. Well maintained and nice tour. We were here in January 2022.

Great coffee shop with a nice range of cakes and quick bites.

My daughter went for a bacon roll which she really enjoyed.

I tried the sausage roll as i couldnt resist. It was quite big and i had the choice of salad or gherkins! So definately the salad!

You can sit outside too which is nice by the river and you can also grab some duck/fish food to feed the local wildlife (kids love it)

The coffee shop also has a small shop with some really nice gifts. (See pictures)

Really nice lication and a Lovely service too easy 5* review.

Visited for the winter light show. Nice little experience. Our 9 year old loved it and en joyed some of the hands on exhibitions. Cafe is lovely too. My photos are not great but hipe they give some idea.

Wonderful setting but we had no time for the Silk Mill tour itself ... but we plan to do that soon.

Great café. I didn’t visit the museum, but the cafe is a great place to stop to refuel. Very relaxing. Easy - no wait. Thank you.

A must visit if near area. A wonderful piece of living history, which has been preserved with lottery funding and very very nicely done. Lovely cafe, friendly staff and overall a great visit

Small but I interesting in a beautiful setting. The perfect place to visit on a hot day. Surrounded by pure clear running water.

Have not visited for many years and it has been renovated. Small but good cafe

Very interesting place. Very well preserved. Great gift shop and cafe. Lovely food.

Fantastic place to drop in on. The old machines still being used, the renovated water mill, the coffee shop, lunches, clear water in the river with the fish and ducks and of course the staff

This place is located in a beautiful village.
Great place to learn the history of silk manufacturing in the UK.

Really interesting visit, really nice and informative staff. Cafe was welcome after our journey to visit

Lovely museum with nice mill.
Very Friendly staff and nice coffee shop with home-made cakes.
Really recommend.
