HELLINGLY WATER MILL TURNING

by | Aug 23, 2025

Our last waterwheel turning of the year is on Bank Holiday Monday – 25th August at 11am.

You’re welcome to see the wheel turn, come into the watermill to see the workings inside (subject to your own risk), chat about the history here and wander round the riverside garden.

There is no charge. Children are welcome but should be supervised and dogs must be kept on a lead.

Watermill House, Mill Lane, Hellingly. BN27 4EY.

Please note parking here isn’t great so you might want to park at the Old Station Car Park and walk up the Cuckoo Trail.

Murder Mystery Supper

by | Aug 22, 2025

Three fearless actors will enact a sinisterly silly scenario involving motives, alibis, and a suspicious number of monocles.

Guests form teams to solve the case — with bonus points awarded for flair and panache. The winning sleuths receive a prize so dazzling we can’t legally describe it without sunglasses.

Expect razor-sharp wit, reckless accusations, suspicious canapés, and a prize for whichever team cracks the case without causing a full-scale diplomatic incident.

A night of murder, mayhem, and mild hysteria! Ticket price includes food from Ye Olde Spud Shoppe. Bring your own drinks.

Advance booking only: Tickets available from www.hailshamfestival.co.uk
