Assington Mill

Assington Mill offers an unusually wide range of over 50 different short courses, from beekeeping to upholstery, which take place on a small 70-acre farm and private nature reserve in one of Suffolk's beautiful secret valleys.

Class sizes are small, and the food (home-made lunch, biscuits and cakes) comes mainly from the Assington Farmshop.

Participants can stay in the holiday cottage or in a number of private houses or B&Bs nearby.

There is an excellent pub in the village, and another five within three miles of Assington. Assington is just off the A134 and is about six miles from Colchester and the A12, and four miles from Sudbury.

There is a railway station at Bures, three miles away, and over 20 local buses pass the top of the access track every day.

Courses take place in a classroom built of strawbales, and plastered with our own clay, adjacent to the Assington Brook (full provision for disabled students).

Many of the staff live locally. See full details about the courses, and how to book, on our website www.assingtonmill.com.
