News – what’s happening at the mill?

We are excited to announce here our newest addition to the Mini Miller range of activities, the "Holgate Windmill Challenge Badge" award. Children can earn this badge by completing a range of activities at home by themselves or at school, Brownies, Cubs, Mini Millers sessions etc. The activities are designed for children to gain the widest appreciation of our windmill from a variety of perspectives so they must complete activities from the four categories of "Food & Baking", "Design & Technology", "History & Art" and "Get Crafty".
