Exclusive Hire, Melbourn, Cambridgeshire

Hire the Whole Mill, Exclusively Yours

The Entire Mill, the Grounds and All the Bedrooms

When you hire Sheene Mill exclusively you take all of it: the sixteenth century mill house, the riverside ceremony spaces, the landscaped gardens and all ten boutique bedrooms overlooking the River Mel. There are no other guests, no shared grounds, no other event running alongside yours. From arrival to breakfast the following morning, the mill is entirely your own.

Everything Under One Roof

The Mill House

All the Venue Spaces

The banqueting room, the conservatory, the top lounge and every room in between. Dress them and use them as you choose.

The Grounds

Gardens, Gazebo and River

The landscaped riverside gardens, the wedding gazebo over the mill pond, the lawn and the terrace. All yours, with no shared outdoor areas.

Stay the Night

Ten Boutique Bedrooms

All ten individually designed en-suite bedrooms, each with views over the River Mel, are included in the exclusive hire. Your guests stay, relax and continue the celebration.

The Team

A Dedicated Events Team

From setting up to clearing down, the Sheene Mill team runs the day for you. You focus entirely on the occasion.

Ten Individually Designed Boutique Rooms

Sheene Mill has ten boutique bedrooms, each individually designed to complement the original features of this four hundred year old water mill. Every room has its own en-suite, deluxe mattress and modern refitted bathroom, and each one looks out across the old mill pond and the River Mel. Room allocations for wedding and event guests are managed by the event organiser.

Check-in is from 3pm. If you plan to arrive after 7pm please email the venue in advance. Please confirm the exact check-out time with the team when you book.
