“A fantastic opportunity for everyone to get inside their local windmill or watermill and explore their local industrial history. For mill owners it is also a chance to share our enthusiasm for these buildings and for traditional flour milling.” 
- Jonathan Cook, former Chairman of the SPAB Mills Section, owner of Fosters Mill in Cambridgeshire

National Mills Weekend 2020 online:

Due to the coronavirus outbreak we had to cancel the National Mills Weekend 2020, so we decided to take it online. We are showing a documentary by Martyn Taylor on youtube, especially made for the National Mills Weekend. To watch Martyn Taylor's documentary please click here.

Please also join us this weekend on social media and tag us in your mill photos (old and new) on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Use the hashtags #NationalMillsWeekend and #MillsPastAndPresent. You can also enjoy a takeover on our Instagram stories from a trainee millwright.

National Mills Weekend takes place across the UK every May, more than 300 windmills and watermills would be usually open to the public to celebrate our milling heritage.
