Upcoming events
We love to host plenty of events at Heage Windmill. See what we have planned at mill this year.
Maintained and operated by unpaid volunteers, Heage Windmill receives no direct external funding relying on the income from visitors and donations. Repairs and restoration costs are inevitably high, sometimes running into six figures. Your generous donation will help to ensure that Heage Windmill continues to provide a popular visitor experience that educates and entertains. Your donation will be used to maintain and develop a windmill where thousands of visitors each year experience life as it used to be and witness how green energy was used in a bygone era.
We are forever thankful to all our volunteers that give their spare time to the mill. If you have spare time to volunteer at the mill please visit our volunteer page. No spare time but want to help? We have a Just giving page that you can donate to if you wish.
