About The Makers Millhouse

Welcome to The Makers Millhouse, a little family-run creative space for kids, adults, and anyone who loves to make, explore, and just switch off for a while. We’re located at the historic Wymondham Windmill, and our studio blends hands-on craft activities with a relaxed café vibe, so you can take a moment to pause, get creative, and enjoy making something you’re proud of. Every corner of the studio has been designed with families and fun in mind, so whether you’re popping in for a short craft session, celebrating a special occasion, or just fancy some mindful time away from the day-to-day, we hope you’ll feel right at home.

A Café Meets Creative Experience for All Ages

The Makers Millhouse is more than just a place for children, it’s a shared creative experience for all ages. Sit down together and enjoy hands-on crafting, whether you’re joining in with your child or creating something of your own. With a relaxed café-style setting and drinks and treats supplied from the Wymondham Windmill Tea Room, it’s the perfect way for families and friends to connect, unwind, and get creative together.

All of the creativity, none of the mess

Enjoy hands-on, messy creativity without the clean-up at home. At The Makers Millhouse, we take care of everything, from setting up inspiring craft activities to tidying away the glitter, paint, and glue afterwards so that you can fully relax and enjoy the experience whilst knowing the mess stays with us.

Crafts for all ages

Our sessions are designed to give you a complete, enjoyable creative experience within your time in our studio. You’re able to choose from a curated craft menu which is regularly updated with new experiences, and be supported as much or as little as you need, so everyone can create something they’re proud of.
