Woodmill Outdoor Activities Centre is technically an island, surrounded by water on all sides, this 17 acre urban escape is perched on the edge of Southampton with great transport access to the M27, the airport and the city centre, making it an ideal location to do business in the South.
Home to some fantastic activities, this wooded wilderness has a great selection of venues and spaces available to hire. Whether its hosting a meeting, delivering a course, swift water training or even having an outdoor wedding, Woodmill has proven itself a versatile, affordable and perfect green hideaway for a unique venue to meet their needs.
The modern history of Woodmill starts in 1781 when the famous naval block maker, Walter Taylor, built a block mill alongside the two existing corn mills. All of these buildings were destroyed by fire c.1825, and it is thought that the present buildings were built soon after this. The flour mill ceased operations in the 1950s, and the buildings have since been converted to what is now 'The Mill - powered by Active Nation' and the home of Woodmill Outdoor Activities Centre.
Step inside this converted former mill and it’s like walking through the wardrobe into Narnia… but full of people on a mission to persuade the nation to be active! ‘The Mill’, powered by Active Nation, is the ideal place to host your next meeting with it’s wonderfully converted interior that showcases the original use of the Mill dating back to medieval times.
Our unique and characterful rooms are perfect for small meetings of up to 6 people. Host your next team 1-2-1, client meeting, interview process or therapy sessions with us in the heart of Southampton.
Just 5 minutes drive from the M27 and Southampton Airport Parkway railway station, plus with great public transport links directly into the City Centre, The Mill is a prominent and bold landmark – the perfect place to host your next small gathering.
