Following April's official opening of Cricklepit Mill on Exeter's quayside, Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is holding a 'Milling Day' next week to tie in with National Archaeology Week.

The event will take place on Sunday 20 July from 10am until 4pm. It offers the public a rare chance to get to see the mill in operation. DWT will be grinding locally grown wheat into flour.

During the day there will be chance for the public to find out more about the process of milling. Millwright Martin Watts and the group of mill volunteers will be on hand to answer questions. There will also be the chance to look around the building, surrounding gardens and explore the wildflower meadow that is currently in full bloom.

Devon Wildlife Trust's (DWT) Marketing Manager said: "We had a really successful opening event earlier this year but we know that there are lots of people who would still like to see the mill working. Visitors will be able to see what we have achieved at Cricklepit and learn more about the work of Devon Wildlife Trust."

The restoration of the site has been made possible thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, South West Regional Development Agency, Exeter City Council, Viridor and Exeter Canal & Quay Trust along with a number of other charitable trusts and corporate supporters.
