A place of purpose transformed into a thing of beauty

Holmes Mill is a brand new flexible function and event space in the heart Clitheroe.

Nestled in the heart of the Ribble Valley, it is part of an old textile mill which dates back to 1823. Keeping loyal to its industrial roots Holmes Mill’s Function Room bears all the natural textured walls, exposed beams and period character that you would expect from a building that has lasted the decades. With a few added extras to bring the venue to the modern day, you will find industrial inspired props, all beautifully framed using draped Edison bulbs adding further rustic accent to the historical feel of the space.

The Function Room holds from 50 to 150 seated people, or 200 without seats. There’s enough space to source a live band or artist to match your taste and style! The Function Room also has its own private bar offering cask ales, lagers, ciders and an impressive range of wines and gins. It’s the perfect self-contained industrial chic space.

After the first multi-storey spinning block was erected on the site in 1823, many additions were made throughout the following years and decades as the local cotton trade boomed. The site was given Grade II listed status, but had lain empty, in poor condition, since the 1970s before it was purchased by James’ Places Group in 2015. The new owners hold a vision to bring the beautiful building back to life and enhance the features it holds in abundance. By the time it is finished it will look like a thing of purpose that has been transformed into a thing of beauty.
