Prior to its redevelopment into today's dynamic and creative hub, the Old Biscuit Mill functioned as an actual biscuit mill for the Pyott's biscuit company. John Pyott opened the factory in the early 1900s and it remained in operation until 1946.
The Old Biscuit Mill has collaborated with some of the best local and international street artists to create singular murals in and around the venue. Be sure to look for these artworks when visiting, snap a selfie and share with us #OldBiscuitMillArt.

Parket is now available at The Old Biscuit Mill
During the week (Mondays to Fridays) you can find parking within the Old Biscuit Mill.
However, on Saturdays, because the Neighbourgoods Market takes over the parking areas, no parking is available within the Mill itself. We therefore recommend those visiting the Mill use services like Uber, Bolt or the MyCiTi Bus (route 261 stops just outside the Mill) to avoid congestion and parking hassles.
Every Saturday there is secure parking available for R20 all day at the College of Cape Town, directly opposite the Mill. Entrance to this parking lot is on Kent Street. The College parking is also available on all special event and festival days.
We're here to help, give us a call or send an email and we'll be happy to help!
