Willen Lake is managed by The Parks Trust, the self-financing charity that cares for over 6,000 acres of green space in Milton Keynes. It is the city’s most popular park, attracting over 850,000 people every year thanks to its family-friendly outdoor activities and watersports.

Change Please cafe at Willen Lake

Willen Lake Bar & Kitchen is home to a café operated by Change Please. It is located inside the Watersports Centre on the shore of the lake and boasts two floors that offer amazing views of the landscape, wildlife and action on the water.

When is a cup of coffee, more than a cup of coffee? When it’s a Change Please coffee.

Because Change Please is where social enterprise and coffee expertise blend. Where every award- winning cup we brew — and every cup you buy — helps change someone’s life for the better. Where 100% of our profits, go into giving people experiencing homelessness, a living wage job, housing, training, onwards opportunities — and a fresh shot at a life. And it’s all made possible by your support.

There are plenty of tables inside and out, and an outstanding view across the lake to enjoy whilst you're here.
