CADArts Exhibition at Place Mill

About

Place Mill is a heritage Mill, situated on the Quomps, Christchurch Quay. It is one of the key heritage sites in Christchurch, alongside Christchurch Castle, the Norman House, and the Priory.

Dating back to the 11th Century (a mill on this site was mentioned in the Domesday Book!), the Mill showcases evidence of Saxon and Tudor brickwork, and inside offers visitors a chance to explore a replica of the historical tools and equipment of the mill. This includes the Great Spur Wheel which is driven by the waterwheel through a series of cogs, which turn the millstones on the first floor.

Sitting alongside the mill displays, Place Mill has gallery space that can be used for artist and maker exhibitions. This creates a unique showcase of local heritage and culture for both residents and tourists to enjoy. All exhibitions are free of charge and there will be a selection of artwork on sale.

CADArts (Christchurch and District Arts) have been at the centre of the local arts scene for over 40 years. Aiming to promote participation in, and development of, the Arts amongst the inhabitants of Christchurch and the surrounding area, they're a perfect fit to exhibit at Place Mill. Enjoy a whole range of artwork by talented local artists and maybe even take home a new original piece!
