See the Mill in a new light this January!

The Whitchurch Silk Mill and its gardens in the heart of rural Hampshire will glisten and sparkle this January with an all new magical, after dark illuminated trail. The Mill will be transformed by spectacular installations, leaving the dark winter evenings aglow. This is a first for the Mill as it features dazzling light artworks, installations and an illuminated trail.

Often known as Blue January, for many it is a time to mark the end of the yule season and celebrate the end of winter and the return of the sun. Normally this quiet Hampshire town falls into darkness but this January the Mill will glow brighter than usual 3pm - 8pm from 17 to 26 January thanks to the addition of sparkling installations from Yes Productions.

As part of the illumination, there will be a series of events including a business networking event, artists’ development event, a health and wellbeing day and a skills project involving local young people. There will be markets and family activities over the weekends.

It will be an amazing time of year to visit the Mill as the unique facades of this weaving icon will be brought to life with colour, shape and movement, and the tree canopies and river vista will be drenched in grand illuminations reflected in the crystal clear waters of the River Test. Vintage lanterns in the Mill and light pipes on the lawn continue the surprises both inside and outside the Mill.
