Royal visit by HRH The Princess Royal
We were extremely honoured to welcome HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne to the windmill to formally open the Heckington Windmill Regeneration Project on Friday 13th October. The Princess Royal spent almost two hours on site looking around the regenerated buildings and exploring the windmill. Over 300 invited guests and visitors watched her unveil a plaque, formally opening the completed project works, before being presented with a hamper of Heckington Windmill products, presented to her by Sonia Pacey and Marc Millward, our oldest and youngest volunteers |

WORK COMPLETE ON SITE! July 2017
We are extremely pleased to announce that the building work is all complete on site and we have been able to gain access into the refurbished buildings in time for our summer season.
Newman Moore Builders have completed on time and the new buildings are looking fabulous.
We also have the first phase of our interpretation and displays in the granary installed and our visitors are already loving the hands-on activities and displays that we have to offer.
