Upcoming events
Visit Pann Mill and experience the rich history of the last operating water mill on River Wye. Our open days provide a unique opportunity to learn about the heritage restoration project and the importance of preserving this historic landmark.
I would highly encourage anyone to attend an open day. The mill is very interesting and the volunteers who work there are very knowledgeable about their craft. It was great to see a piece of history in action. We bought some flour milled on the day for only £1.50!

The Pann Mill open days are a great opportunity to see the towns mill, meet the millers and of course visit the famous refreshment stall for delicious cakes, tea & fresh coffee! There are also a variety of stalls with items for sale. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

There have been mills on the site since at least 1086, and probably earlier. The previous Georgian mill was substantially altered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and mostly demolished in 1971. However, the High Wycombe Society saved both the remains and the site, which is leased from Buckinghamshire Council, and a restoration project was started which continues to this day. View our extended image gallery to see how the site has changed over time.
We are a heritage restoration project and keep very little flour available for sale. Most of the flour produced at Pann Mill is produced for demonstration and is typically sold out shortly after our Open Days. However, do get in touch to see if there is still a bag or two available.
The next mill open day will be Sunday, 11th May 2025.
