Events at Benholm Mill

The Mill of Benholm could be the perfect venue for your event, the tearoom can be hired for groups of up to twenty two persons to sit down to eat inside but a much larger number can be hosted during the summer months with riverside table seating for thirty. Come and see the site and talk to us about hosting your event at the mill.

The Benholm Mill hosts a rich variety of regular and one-off events throughout the calendar. These range from weekly craft sessions, to annual visits from groups such as local artists, birdwatcher, ham radio groups and many others. Check this page regulary for updates.

Special interest groups looking for a venue with a large car parking area close to a busy 'A' road such as the A92 should consider Mill of Benholm as we have all the facilities required for small scale public gatherings such as Farmer's Markets, Country and Craft Fairs, Vintage Vehicle, Motor and Cycle Gatherings, Model Boat Club Meetings, Music Festivals.

Monthly Streamkeepers Club starts up again on Saturday 19th may - the sounds of spring. Click here to download a Powerpoint!
