What a fantastic time we had at Path Head Watermill this weekend.

On Saturday we held our annual Classic Car Event with approximately 50 beautiful cars on site. Thank you to all of the exhibitors who took the time to attend and show their cars and to everyone who turned up to see them. It really was a lovely day I'm just sorry that I didn't get time to come out and chat to everyone.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who supported the day from the Marshalls to the Cakey Ladies. I think it was probably a record day for us in the Tea Room it was so busy. Can we just thank all of the customers for waiting so patiently for orders.

Then on Sunday we had a group of local artists visiting, taking inspiration from the gardens. And another busy day in the Tea Room for everyone.

Just a reminder that our normal menu will be back this weekend.

The Mill Race Tea Room will be open as usual

Saturday and Sunday 10.30am - 3pm
Last orders at 2.30pm

Both gates to the site will be locked when our volunteers leave for the day.
