Unusual Building Hire

Woodbridge Tide Mill is a beautiful, if relatively small, space that, in the right circumstances, may be used as a venue.

The Mill is allowed to have 50 visitors in it at any time to meet fire regulations and abide by its insurers requirements. Furthermore the Mill is an 800 year old, unheated, wooden building next to water and so at certain times of the year it is cold.

That having said the Mill has hosted pop-up restaurants over its three floors as well as presentations, book launches and private parties to select audiences in the past. It makes for a quirky venue to host such smaller gatherings during which catering and Guides can be provided if required.

If you agree, and are planning an event, then why not contact us at enquiries.woodbridgetidemill@gmail.com with your requirements and we’ll see if we can help.

And don’t forget: Friends of Woodbridge Tide Mill Living Museum get a lower rate.

It is recommended that you allow up to an hour to visit the Mill’s three floors and outside area

Woodbridge stands on the A12, the road that links London and Lowestoft and on the rail line that links Ipswich with Lowestoft. From either direction follow signs to Woodbridge and take any entrance into the town. The Tide Mill is by the river and accessible from several car parks. See the Plan Your Visit page for more details.

Woodbridge Tide Mill is a Grade I listed building dating back to 1793. As you can imagine this, together with the building being over three floors, does give us some challenges in being able to provide equitable access. Click the button to find out more.

Dogs in Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum

Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a food production facility, legally bound to follow food production regulations. It still grinds, packages and sells flour to individuals and through retailers.
The Mill is closed during flour production for resale and is cleaned before and after. Because of this…
well-behaved dogs are permitted, at the Duty Warden’s discretion, on the ground floor only.
Sadly we cannot allow dogs on the first and second floors.
