Eling Tide Mill Experience

#FactFriday Over 200 different kinds of bread are produced in the UK – from brioche and baguettes to farmhouse loaves and focaccia. This diversity is only possible because of the vast range and quality of British flour available [Flour Advisory Bureau].

#ThrowbackThursday A reminder of the changes that took place to change the old Heritage Centre into a Visitor Centre for the mill!

Another great 3D print collected. We love this one - we're all a bit cog-crazy here!

Mini Professors for 2 - 4 years olds runs every Friday during term time, 10 - 10.45am, in the Visitor Centre. Book your place online with Mini Professors.

Sam drew a computer game component - here's the 3D print of it thanks to Handy Dan's 3D Prints! They're all ready to be collected from the Tide Mill :)

Prepping for tomorrow's Drop-in & Explore Day: Under the Sea. Fancy making a rocking crab? Pop down to the John Chandler Activity Room in the Visitor Centre between 1pm and 3pm. £1 per child (or free with admission).

If you recognise this robot, you probably took part in our 3D Printing workshop last week with Handy Dan's 3D Prints. Please check your email for a message from Ruth, our Community Engagement Officer, about collecting your 3D print :)

Thrilled to hear Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's Wildlife Watch Groups for families (inc. ours!) have made the finals of the CPRE Countryside Awards! Vote for them to win http://www.cprehampshire.org.uk/awa…/ha mpshire-s-choice-2018

Some of yesterday's creations! The next Drop-in & Explore Day is Under the Sea. 1 - 3pm, Thu 23 August.

Horrible weather but ideal for getting arty in our Activity Room! We've seen lots of people this afternoon for our Drop-in & Explore Salt Dough session :)

The Christopher Tower New Forest Reference Library have asked our Fb followers for help! Please click the link to find out more and comment below if you can help.
They're looking to identify if a photo they have on loan is Eling Infant School. Arthur Purkess has been identified on the back row, eighth from the left. The photo is likely to date from the 1920s. Can you confirm that this *is* Eling School? Can you help the Christopher Tower New Forest Reference Library to identify anyone else in the picture? Please comment on our Fb page for them! Thank you :)

Loved the Discovery Centre and the Mill....Will definitely cone back to see it working. Cafe was great, husband and daughter loved their panninis �

Just wait until we re-open. We look forward to welcoming visitors old and new

I visited the cafe last week. The cafe is light and there was plenty of space at the tables.



The food was great and they were very accommodating with my nearly 2 year old. They also cater for vegan and gluten - my sister and her husband had the chilli and chocolate tart. We will definitely be going back.

We only went in the cafe for coffee and a scone. Both very nice.
