Holgate Windmill, York’s last surviving windmill and the oldest 5-sailed windmill in the country is now fully restored and producing traditional stone-ground flour.
Come and visit us on one of our regular open days throughout the year to talk to our knowledgeable volunteers and see how it’s done, or purchase flour (and a wide range of other gifts) any Saturday morning, 10:00 till 12:00.

For those of you planning to visit Santa when he is at the windmill would you please note that the dates and times advertised in York Local Link are incorrect. The correct times and dates are as shown in this poster. We would be really grateful if you know anyone who is planning to visit about this error and let them know the correct times. Thank you. #holgatewindmill #santainthemill #everythingyork #visityork #exploreyork #christmasyork #Santa
This was the windmill in April 2010 before the sails were put in place and the windmill was painted. What a long way the mill has come in 9 years. #holgatewindmill #holgate #restoration #restoredwindmill #holgatewindmillpreservationsociety #millsarchive #millwright #windmill #windmills #yorkwindmill
Dates for your diaries! Always lovely days. The mill is decorated with festive trimmings, lots of activities for the children, Santa in residence and the mill full of people. #holgatewindmill #santainthemill #everythingyork #thingstodoinyork #yorksanta #york #yorkxmas #ChristmasinYork #windmill
