The Mill is a friendly, inclusive, open and award-winning community theatre, entirely run by volunteers and located in Bedfordshire, UK. You can read about our Mission and Values here.
We produce at least four in-house shows each year in our historic theatre which was converted from an old mill. Alongside our productions, we host social events and workshops for members and welcome bands, dance schools and professional artists to our venue. Find out more here.
If you would like to become a member or volunteer and get involved in any way, you can contact us here.
