Families with toddlers are warmly invited to NavenBees, the friendly toddler group at Mrs Smith’s Cottage. Designed for ages 2–5, NavenBees takes place in our modern learning centre and offers hands‑on fun inspired by the natural world, with rhymes, crafts and have‑a‑go gardening.
Upcoming sessions include 8 May, themed around Butterflies, and 22 May, with Outdoor Fun activities. The group costs £2.50 per child, with adults free, and there’s no need to book. You can also drop in this Friday, 24 April, 11am–12pm to join the buzz.
From 23 May, May half‑term crafts begin, launching with a Plant Sale & Swap (12–4pm) – a great chance to share plants, ideas and get your garden summer‑ready, all while supporting the cottage.
Celebrate National Mills Weekend on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May with special events at two of Lincolnshire’s much‑loved mills.
At Heckington Windmill, Sunday brings the popular George Chambers Memorial Tractor Run, with a colourful parade of vintage tractors arriving at the mill – a fantastic sight for all ages and a great way to mark the weekend.
Meanwhile, Cogglesford Watermill is teaming up with radio enthusiasts for Mills on the Air, linking heritage with modern technology as the mill takes to the airwaves as part of this national event.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore local heritage, enjoy family-friendly activities and support our historic mills.
