The windmill will be open for visitors on Saturday July 2nd and Sunday July 3rd between 11am and 4pm.
On the Sunday there will a craft activity drop in session entitled “Pinwheels and mill towers”. A chance to look round the mill and be creative!

So sorry to read of the death of Harry Gration. Harry was one of our patrons and we were delighted to be able to show him round the Windmill, where he was so interested in the restoration work. We thank him for his support and send our condolences to his family. #holgatewindmill #patron #HarryGration #looknorth #yorkwindmill ... See MoreSee Less
