A Gingerbread Christmas at Winchester City Mill

Join us for A Gingerbread Christmas - delight in the beautifully decorated trees, wooden beams decked in garlands and hundreds of sparkling lights.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Step into this beautiful historic mill, brimming with the delights of Christmas. You'll find richly decorated trees with gingham bows, copper baubles and strings of gingerbread characters reflecting the heritage of flour production here. Green garlands, shiny baubles and stack of presents will bring all the festive feelings. See if you can spot some familiar friends between the branches!

Don't forget to visit our cosy café for a winter warmer. Tucked away in the historic Mill, our café is the perfect place to have a break from Christmas hustle and bustle. Enjoy a tasty lunch, from warming seasonal soups to tasty filled toasties. Fancy a treat? Our fresh cakes change regularly so there is always something new to try. Our spiced cake with toffee sauce can't be missed! A warming drink is also a must - savour one of our luxurious hot chocolates - topped with marshmallows and cream.
