About
Roll up, roll up, for the ultimate theatrical events agency — The Events Mill
Every act in this show is ours
We don’t sub-contract the interesting parts. Twenty years of doing the lot ourselves.
The Ringmaster
Your producer. Holds the whole thing together and answers for every other act on this bill.
Punch
Designers and makers of spectacle. Nothing on this bill has been built before, and nothing will be built twice.
The Drum
The schedule. Everything here happens on it, or it doesn’t happen.
The Harlequin
Performance and casting. Not entertainment booked in — characters written for the piece.
The Elephant
Production. Everything that has to be built, carried in and made to stand up.
The Clowns
Costume, hair and make-up. Nobody arrives looking like they came from somewhere else.
The Garland
Floral design. Ours, not ordered in.

What we make
We design and build immersive experiences. We pick a story, then make everything inside it — the set, the costumes, the cast, the food, the flowers, the lighting — so all of it belongs to the same world.
We do weddings, big birthdays, product launches, company parties, charity fundraisers, and trips that run over several days. We work wherever you want us to.
We also run Mill & Fable. It is the same work made as travel — journeys built around a story, with doors opened that are usually shut. The first is fourteen days across Paris, Versailles and Burgundy.
A few things we’ve done
What clients say
“Our annual event sees a raft of high-level executives from all over the world visit London for a few days for presentations and socials, and is traditionally finished with a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. Having Christopher on board from the offset for the finale was probably one of the best decisions we have ever made.”
Tina Kirby, The Premier League“Frankly, the success of our event would not have been possible without Christopher. Like a great composer, he was able to visualise the individual elements before bringing them together in a final orchestration. I have no hesitation in recommending Christopher to anyone and everyone.”
Jim Benner, War Child · The Very First Wassail“Christopher is an absolute joy to work with and was responsible for making our event the most stunning, beautiful, welcoming and special evening. His taste was absolutely impeccable and his grace working on an arguably very challenging schedule and budget was admired by all of us. I am so excited and grateful to get to work with him again.”
Carey Mulligan, Actress
Who runs it
Christopher Mills. He started The Events Mill in 2013 and has been making these experiences for clients around the world ever since.
How it starts
Tell us what you want. If you don’t know yet, tell us the problem you’re stuck with — that works just as well.
We come back with the whole thing drawn up: the story, what it looks like, what has to be built, and what it will take to do it.
If you like it, we build it. And because we do all of it ourselves, there is one schedule, one budget, and one person to call.
Our promise
- To challenge all you’ve seen before and to smash your expectations, always.
- To bring your dreams to life, as your go-to “yes, that’s possible” agency.
- To be your guiding hand and stress-free, full solution, enabling you the freedom to create connections and lifetime memories.
- To create authentic, mind-blowingly fun, beautiful, exceptional work that leaves you with a sense of wonder, curiosity and the “how the hell did they do that?”
