Walford Mill Crafts is a charming creative hub housed in a Grade II listed watermill beside the River Allen in Wimborne, Dorset. The venue showcases resident artists, designers and makers working in open-studios, along with regular exhibitions and pop-up studios. Every second Saturday of the month the courtyard comes alive with a craft market where you can browse handmade goods, relax by the river, and enjoy refreshments at the onsite café, Little Pickle at the Mill.
They also offer a rich programme of workshops for adults and children—everything from pottery and lino printing to botanical casting and silver-jewellery making. The exhibition gallery, education room, and studios are all accessible, providing both creative inspiration and hands-on experiences. Whether you’re looking for original gifts, a leisurely coffee by the water, or an artful day out, Walford Mill Crafts delivers a peaceful, artistic escape.
