Bateman's

Enjoy a wild day out with the family this summer visiting our working mill, building dens in our wild play area or making puppets at one of our puppetry workshops.

Before the school holidays and the heat of summer bring in the crowds, visit us during the week and see the millers in action down at the mill or join our watercolour workshop.

There's an explosion of colour and scent in the summer garden and an abundance of wildflowers to enjoy in the hay meadows. Take a wander and feel the space as Kipling would have known it.

Tucked away in a secluded dell near to the car park, our natural play area is now open. Bring the kids and let them enjoy our giant swing and wooden see-saw or go wild building themselves a den.

There's lots to see in the countryside around Bateman's. Take a wander and perhaps find the inspiration for your own magical story or stories as Kipling did.

This summer enjoy some of the great poems and verse of Kipling amidst the beautiful Sussex countryside that provided the inspiration for their creation.

Visit the mill this summer and you may hear the sound of the mill wheels turning once again after some extensive restoration work.

The beauty of the Sussex landscape that surrounds Bateman's can be enjoyed with just a short walk from the house. For those that want more, there are several estate walks to try.
