Due to the ongoing pandemic, the opening of Selgars Mill has been postponed until Spring 2021

What's happening at the Mill

Our new training centre at Selgars Mill supports communities to create new responses to a range of crises, from the decline of the high street to the impacts of climate change, from youth unemployment to food insecurity. Our programmes are developed with a site-wide approach, using as much of the buildings and surroundings to create valuable educational and cultural experiences.

We are currently taking bookings through our partner's website - selecting a workshop below will navigate you to stirtoaction.com where you will find further information and can complete your booking.
