Oldland Windmill Coronation 2023

Celebrate the coronation at Oldland Windmill

Oldland Windmill

We all recognise this much loved landmark which marks the border between Keymer and Ditchling, but have you ever seen inside this fascinating piece of local history and remarkable engineering?

On April 2nd, Oldland windmill starts its summer season of open afternoons offering the chance to see inside this fascinating windmill which still grinds flour. There will also be refreshments and memorabilia. If you miss the first afternoon, don’t worry, there is one planned for every month. What’s more, there will also be a special ‘Coronation celebration’ event on May 7th, where a complimentary minibus will be available from the Thatched Inn. What better spot to mark this historic occasion, which has been decorated in recognition of previous monarchs. The windmill is restored and maintained by volunteers. Visitors are encouraged to make a small voluntary donation to help with upkeep of this fabulous mill. See www.oldlandwindmill.org.uk
