Frequently Asked Questions
When will the new sails be fitted?Work is currently ongoing on the sails by Messers Thompson & Sons of Alford. During May they will be removing the existing shutters for repair or replacement. When this is complete we hope that the new sails will be fitted shortly after and we should be milling again by the summer holidays.
More information will be posted as it becomes available - we will have a viewing area for everyone to see the new sails going up! Do you allow dogs?Yes, dogs are allowed on site but not in the mill or tea rooms. (Guide dogs are permitted)
Are there facilities for disabled?The mill has approximately 8 steps leading up to the ground floor, therefore it can be difficult for someone of limited mobility.
As part of the lottery bid we are planning full access to the ground floor of the mill, the new shop, visitor information area and toilets. Disabled access is possible to the tea rooms. Access to the toilets is not easy for wheelchair users at present. How can I support the Mill?Becoming a Friend of Heckington Mill is easy - simply click on this link and follow the instructions.

If we are successful, work should start early in the Spring of 2013 and we aim to complete within 2-3 years.
