Plan Your Visit
We welcome walk-in visitors, families, groups and schools.
Whitchurch Silk Mill is open throughout the year, so whether you’re coming from near or far, looking for a summer weekend outing with friends, or seeking to visit a Hampshire attraction in winter, there’s always lots to see and do.
Only guide dogs are permitted within the shop, café and Mill but well behaved dogs on leads are more than welcome to enjoy the grounds (including using the café’s outdoor seating) and the duck-feeding area. You are permitted to walk through the shop to reach the grounds. Don’t forget to ask for a treat for your furry friend when placing your order.
