Family Fun this Easter holiday

It's going to be a cracking Easter at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings!

Working together with Lovelyland we're going to shine a light on our wonderful natural surroundings here at the home of the grandparent of skyscrapers.

Throughout the holidays, we'll have a range of spring-themed activities happening on different days, including a Gold Bunny Trail, bug house building, seed ball making, creating a wildflower mural, and seed planting.

We'll also have brilliant local storyteller, Jake Evans, here on site to entertain and inspire, as well as a Nature Printing Workshop to get creative at (pre-booking required).  

Activities are free apart from the Gold Bunny Trail which is £1 per child.

NEW - Book on a Behind-the-Scenes Guided Tour

From 5 April, you can enjoy a Behind-the-Scenes guided tour of the recently restored Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings.

Online booking is recommended as spaces are limited. Tours will run on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; taking 60 minutes. You'll get to see parts of the Flaxmill Maltings that aren't normally open to members of the public, so if you would love a sneak peek, book your tickets now!
