It also offers heritage displays of the weaving and mill history, and has two working Victorian style Dobcross Looms.

Sedbergh is a 10 minute drive from Junction 37 of the M6.

Join our Studio Waiting List

We are looking for artists and contemporary craft makers to join our studio list, since vacancies occasionally occur and we like to be poised to fill those quickly. Our resident artists have been selected for their skill, talent and the quality of their work. Both established and new makers are encouraged to apply for studios but we are particularly interested in individuals whose work fits with the Mill’s vision. Farfield Mill is striving towards becoming a centre of excellence for textiles; art, design and manufacture. We will give priority to textile artists when considering studio applications, but we will always have a variety of high quality makers, artists and craftspeople – so all are encouraged to apply.
