A Flexible Venue for Your Occasion
Sheene Mill is a family owned, sixteenth century mill house on the River Mel in Melbourn, near Cambridge, available to hire for private celebrations. Whether you are marking a big birthday, an anniversary, an engagement or simply gathering the family, we can provide the venue, food and service you need to make the day memorable. Our spaces, menus and team are flexible enough to shape around whatever you are celebrating.
Rooms and Grounds to Suit Your Gathering
The Conservatory
A light, riverside room looking over the mill pond, well suited to a relaxed private dinner or an afternoon gathering.
The Main Room
Our banqueting room, with original beams and character, dressed for anything from a formal sit down meal to an evening party.
The Gardens
Landscaped gardens running down to the River Mel, ideal for a drinks reception or a celebration that spills outdoors.
The Riverside Gazebo
Our gazebo beside the mill pond, a pretty spot for a toast, a small ceremony or simply the best photographs of the day.
Cooked in Our Own Kitchen
Every dish is cooked in house by our own kitchen, from canapés and a sharing buffet to a formal sit down meal. Our head chef is happy to build a menu around your tastes and your guests' dietary needs, so the food feels as personal as the rest of the day.
A Coordinator on Hand Throughout
Our events team helps you choose the right space, plan the timings and confirm the menu, then runs the day itself so you can simply enjoy it. You arrive to a room that is set up and ready, with support on hand from start to finish.
