Suffolk countryside, a historic mill, and the whole venue to yourselves

Tucked into the picturesque village of Kersey, our mill has stood here since the Domesday Book. Today it’s one of Suffolk’s most characterful places to marry, celebrate and gather.

Say your vows, raise a glass on the decking, take photos across the grounds, then dance the night away in the Maltings Room. From intimate ceremonies to full-scale celebrations, the day is shaped around you.

Meet Ross & Charlene Thurston. Award-winning in weddings and owners of the mill, they personally look after every couple and every event.
