Welcome

Brimscombe Mill is a thriving community where connection and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do. We’re nestled between the canal and the River Frome, a big beautiful mill rescued from decay and currently being restored to it’s former glory. It is home to a unique ecosystem of social enterprises- The Long Table, Kids Stuff, The Home Remedy and The Bike Drop. Our businesses not only serve the community but also support one another to grow and thrive.

Our cloisters space acts as our gathering space with table tennis, pool and regular pop up markets. The community comes together to create, share, and build a radically welcoming space where new ideas flourish, families find support, and everyone is invited to be part of something bigger.
