This is an incredible museum and memorial to the bomber crews that flew from here during the war. Lots of interesting stories and artifacts and the volunteers that work there are enthusiastic and have an extraordinary knowledge of the history of the base. Couldn't recommend more highly. I've been multiple times and have a jumper too!

I have been visiting Emma Jane’s workshops for the last year - usually every few months, with my 2 daughters (age 9 and 14) and we absolutely love them. Emma is fantastic at giving you as much help as you need/would like - recommending different methods and helping you make anything you fancy making. I can satisfy a slight addiction to making tiles while my girls love making anything that has taken their fancy that week! We keep returning as it’s a blissful few hours of creativity and mindfulness. Highly highly recommend.

Industrial Heritage & Local History Museum based in a fully operational flour mill. A Covid Secure destination, you can book tickets to visit the Tide Mill via our website - www.woodbridgetidemill.org. uk

Last weekend we went along to the Tide Mill. I was a bit apprehensive as I’d been shielding since the end of February but I was soon put at ease. Covid-19 has changed everything but at the Tide Mill they have put a lot of safety procedures into place. You need to book ahead. Only 6 people at a time to ensure social distancing. Hand sanitizer and face masks ???? available for those who turn up without them. And track-and-trace information taken. Then once inside, it was a very informative tour by one of the volunteer workers. The mill is full of history. It has a record of the full history of ownership which is fascinating. We were lucky to be there when the tide was coming in so we could see the mill at work; watching the huge oak water wheel turning. It’s fascinating how it works. There is a little gift shop to purchase souvenirs. You can even purchase some flour they have made at the mill (produced the same way for centuries) which we did to make bread with. I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Reasonably priced. It would be a great experience for children; with an interactive model and a kids trail to find the hidden mice. Sadly due to Covid-19 the experience of tasting the flour has had to be stopped for obvious reasons. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, thank you ????

A fantastic and fascinating museum, very informative with knowledgeable volunteers and staff, and well worth more than just one visit. Although smaller than some aviation museums the wealth of information and presentation of the artefacts is far better than a lot of those other museums, the displays are nicely focussed on the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge with the descriptions on the displays concise and easy to read. A real 10/10 experience.

All-new displays tell the story of Woodbridge and its surrounding area by focusing on the lives of a selection of local people, from Tudor times to the present-day. Some, like Thomas Seckford and the Lockwoods, have left us a legacy that includes some of the town’s most iconic buildings. The artist Thomas Churchyard and the surveyor Isaac Johnson have drawn and painted and measured the landscapes of two centuries ago and they too have left their record. A soldier from the Napoleonic barracks, a child witnessing a Zeppelin raid in WWI and a garage-owner organising air-raid patrols in WW2, all tell their stories, as do the river pilots, the ferrymen and the boat-builders. Not to be forgotten, press reports from 1939 tell the now world-famous story of the dig at Edith Pretty’s Sutton Hoo estate, just across the river from Woodbridge.
