Spend an hour or spend the day at this go-to zone for foodies, art admirers and seekers of the collectable, curious and artisan made. Starting as the Castlemaine Woollen Mill in 1875, and finishing as Victoria Carpets in 2013, The Mill has transformed into a place for food and artisan manufacturing - a part of Castlemaine’s vibrancy. On-site in our food precinct the individually owned small busine
sses include a Viennese coffee house, coffee roastery, winemakers, ice-creamery, bread maker, chocolatier, smallgoods maker, cheese maker, craft brewery and tap room. Our artisan precinct includes furniture makers, clothing, bath soaks & fragrance makers and an upholsterer. Our vintage precinct – home of Castlemaine Vintage Bazaar and Platform No. 5, offers stallholder market-style spaces to sell vintage,
re-purposed, hand-made and second hand goods. Visit artists at work in quirky art spaces and wander the site to explore a variety of sculptures, murals and paste-ups. There are health and wellbeing studios - Real Strength and Pilates at The Mill. There are also office spaces in use and available in this creative community. The Mill Castlemaine is opposite the Botanical Gardens and has loads of on-site parking for cars, bikes, buses and caravans. Please forgive us if you come on a day when there is lots of activity - transformation and landscaping works are an ongoing job.
