GROUP VISITS

Groups are always welcome including schools, youth groups, special interest groups, U3A, WI and many others.
We can offer guided tours of the building to include trips up the mill tower to view the internal workings of the mill, talks on the history.
We will have an education space available for group activities & gatherings

For business meetings and events, we are able to offer a package with room hire, refreshments and even wedding receptions!
We love having car, bike and vintage vehicle meets at the mill; just let us know if you are coming so we can make sure we are ready for your visit!

Adult Groups

Special interest groups are very welcome at the windmill and tours and talks can be arranged according to the interest.  Refreshments at the mill house can be arranged, making a perfect day or evening out.
Comments from one group visit said: "The guides made the mill come to life and the freshly baked cakes and cream teas just finished off the afternoon."

8 Sail Facts

Only 7 mills were ever built with eight sails. 
One each in Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk and 3 in Lincolnshire.  These were - Market Rasen, Skirbeck (transferred to Heckington in 1892) and Holbeach.
Of all these, only Heckington's 8 sail mill survives.
