At Folkerton Mill, sustainability isn't just a feature; it's foundational to our ethos.
Our bar, crafted from reclaimed and recycled materials, proudly serves locally sourced drinks to minimize environmental impact. We promote zero waste by eschewing single-use plastics and offering natural confetti from dried petals and wood shavings. Our eco-friendly piggery toilets are built with re-purposed materials, and vintage tableware adds charm without disposables.
We also reduce transportation emissions with a complimentary coach service included in some of our packages and celebrate each wedding by planting a tree on our grounds. Our commitment extends to preserving the mill's heritage and transforming it into a self-sustaining venue powered by renewable energy.
Join us at Folkerton Mill, where your celebration helps nurture the planet.
