Mill Waters Festival

Saturday 12th September, 11am–3pm Sutton Lawn Park

Join us for our OPEN DAY HERITAGE EVENT!

The festival begins at 11am at the top of Sutton Lawn, one of Ashfield’s two Green Flag Mill Waters Parks. Set on the central grassed area, the event will be surrounded by the park’s much‑loved facilities — the play area, tennis courts, bowling club and skatepark — with the lake and orchard just a short stroll away. This event is suitable for all the family.
