Dates have been announced for the 2010 open weekends. We will be
opening one weekend in every month between May and October, including
a couple of additional days in April. See our Open
Days page for more details.
February
2010
Windmill Pancake Day - We held a successful Pancake Day,
with over 50 people battling in the snowy conditions to gather around
and inside the mill, flipping pancakes and generally having great
fun. This was our most successful Pancake Day ever - many thanks
to everyone who supported the event.

The cap has now been on a month and it looks stunning against
the snowy backdrop of York (spot the snow angel in the foreground).
The recent cap replacement has generated so much interest that we
have now sold out of sponsorships for all 200 shutters and 8 fantail
blades. I'd like to say a big Thank You to everyone who has supported
us in this venture, helping us raise a desperately needed £10,400
for the mill.
Our Millwrights, Tom, Steve and Dave are still working hard inside
the mill over the winter months and you will be able to see the
progress we have made when the Mill opens again for the 2010 season
in May. Details of all open days and events for 2010 will be posted
here in due course.
