On arrival, we will have coffee/tea, etc then our guide will take us on a tour lasting about an hour. We will learn about the history of the mill, visit the recently refurbished waterwheel and see the Victorian machinery used to produce our silk and enjoy the current exhibition.
After the tour, we will enjoy a sandwich lunch (included) and have time to visit their shop selling silk products and gifts!
In the afternoon we will then continue to Winchester Cathedral where we will enjoy the Wild! Festival of Flowers and Nature, which takes place only once every 4 years! We will see the vibrant celebration of flowers of nature inspired by the beauty and diversity of our natural surroundings.

Showcoach pre-Christmas trip to Sadler's Wells on Thursday 17th December.
Please join us for our pre-Christmas trip to Sadlers Wells on Thursday 17th December at 2.30 to see Matthew Bourne’s CINDERELLA, a thrilling and evocative love story set in London during 2nd World War.
His epic interpretation of the classic fairytale has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Cinderella is both a tribute and a testimonial to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever.
Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling has never been more heart stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable set to Prokofiev’s charming score.
We only have 29 tickets for this trip so please sign up quickly
Cost is £98 which includes coach and excellent seats in the stalls
