Stockwith Mill - Our Story

Welcome to Stockwith Mill

We’re Simon and Kristi, a husband-and-wife team who left city life behind for the charm of this historic gem.

The moment we crossed the bridge and saw the Mill, we knew we’d found something special. So in 2021, we took the plunge and traded skyscrapers and noise for tranquil, wide-open spaces. With our then very young son and energetic collie, Molly, we embraced a new adventure of rural living and restoration and what a ride it’s been!

Our combined project management and building skills (and on occasion an ice-cold Cider) have certainly come in handy! We have loved getting our hands dirty building the foundations of the venue that we enjoy today. It’s truly been the epitome of teamwork, along with our son Maxwell!

We have loved breathing new life into every corner of Stockwith Mill and we still have lots of exciting plans for the future. We would be delighted to share our beautiful venue as it becomes yours for the day!

Simon, Kristi, Max and Lola

DOING OUR BIT FOR THE Environment

We care about our environment and really believe in helping the planet where we can. We ask everyone that hosts an event with us to consider the environment by not using plastic and minimising unnecessary waste.

Planting is a great way to combat climate change and has benefits for people, wildlife and the environment. Our beautiful wildflower meadow encourages pollinators as well as providing a beautiful, natural backdrop.

We have an on-going programme to plant indigenous, native trees across our 25 acres. Every couple that book with us will be involved in our mission and become part of our history. It will help increase bio-diversity, prevent soil erosion, reduce flooding and much more.

Small steps all make a big difference to ensure a better planet for future generations.
