Parndon Mill is a perfect environment for these creative sessions. It is a calm and beautiful place: an old river mill situated on the River Stort which has become a dynamic hub of creativity. It is advisable to use a sat-nav as it is easy to miss the turning off Elizabth Way, down to Parndon Mill. The venue address is: The Project Space, Parndon Mill, Elizabeth Way, Harlow, Essex. CM20 2HP
