Since its formation in 2013, Visit New Mills has worked to support and promote shops, businesses, events and community groups in New Mills.

It also organisess the community cinema, weekly Quizit, New Mills hanging baskets and the popular summer Carnival and the Christmas ‘Lights switch on’.

All of this is facilitated by a wonderful team of volunteers to make our town a better place to live and work in and to visit.

It also successfully runs many community events that help promote the town as an entertaining place to visit but with a particular focus on the health and wellbeing of New Mills residents.

It holds regular meetings, these are minuted, published and include a financial report – the groups finances are managed using a package called ‘Quickfile’, members of the public can request access to view the finances at any time.

It receives donations to help fund and promote events via High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council, PCC and occasionally grants available to the community.
