Public Open Day Announcement July 2021.
I regretfully announce that I won’t be opening Charlecote Mill to the public for the remainder of this season. I haven’t taken this decision lightly and throughout the pandemic I’ve been continuously looking at ways I can open in a safe way and make it viable. As we move towards ‘normality’ I find myself in a position where I have a conflict between head and heart. My head is saying that having no restrictions in place at a time when infection rates are rising means I will be putting my volunteers in a more vulnerable position and I don’t feel comfortable doing that. By restricting numbers and being pre-book creates more work than return. My heart is telling me not to disappoint people who have been waiting patiently to visit. If I were to open it would be a compromised visit and I wouldn’t be able to present the mill in the way I feel it should be and so I feel more comfortable to wait until next year to relaunch the open days and see what the world is like then. I haven’t ruled out the possibility of restarting group tours if I feel they can be safe and controlled.
I do hope you all understand and continue to follow and support the mill.
