Millie Gets Festive

Enjoy a Christmas-themed afternoon at our 350-acre nature reserve on the edge of Poole Harbour. As the sun goes down, enjoy a wintery walk, to see the seasonal changes at Holton Lee or locate your ideal snug beneath the festoon lighting with a seasonal hot chocolate and a festive homemade treat, from our student and staff run café on site

A Winter Trail will lead you around the main college campus, offering a fun filled way to access and explore the site. Say hello to Millie College's rescue animals, view the students hard at work in the plant nursery and kitchen garden or stop to join in on a creative craft session along the way.

Faith's Kitchen Café will be open throughout the event, offering a selection of homemade light bites and treats to spice up your visit. With a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating and takeaway options, you are sure to find a suitable spot with a lovely atmosphere and view.


When your feet need a rest and your stomach is full, try out some retail therapy at our Millie's Gifts and Garden stall. There will be a selection of homegrown plants and seasonal produce for sale, as well as a variety of retail purchases and bespoke craft items created by our students and staff.
