Now at Halton Mill we are proud to be continuing The Colonel & Eva's love of community, & continually strive to reflect their ethos too in the work we do & how we provide for & support our our tenants, users & visitors.
So many wonderful collaborative projects are spawned at The Mill. No idea is ever too 'out there' & there are so many creative minds to help make it a reality.
Great friendships become of all users of The Mill, from all it's different spaces! We make time for work, and make lots of time for socialising too.
We are proud to be a supportive environment, celebrating all aspects of people in their personal & business lives. We've had Mill babies, recent retirements & even the odd wedding too!
We are a space to bring friends and families together.
Being flexible, and willing to let people try new things means that we can support so many new ideas & ventures. We are always willing to help.
We are excited for the future of Halton Mill & we are currently undergoing an exciting schedule of work to improve the building for all its users! Could you be part of it's next chapter?
