Built for what's next.

Once a powerhouse of Yorkshire industry, Rutland Mills has been carefully restored as a home for creativity, culture and gathering. Original brick, iron and arched windows meet modern production, hospitality and event infrastructure.

Part of Tileyard North and neighbouring The Hepworth Wakefield, it is a destination with history in its walls and possibility in every room.

Today, Rutland Mills is home to Tileyard North.
