A unique mill in the heart of London
"Beautifully restored - [it] reminds me of childhood visits to East Anglian windmills". Paul Crowley, visitor
Brixton Windmill is now closed to the public for the winter. It will reopen in spring 2012.
We're now busy recruiting and training volunteers to help on the 22 open days next year. Without our volunteers we wouldn't be able to show off the beautifully restored windmill to the public.
If you're interested in helping out in some way, whether by serving teas, minding stalls, baking cakes, or signing people in, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us on info@brixtonwindmill.org.uk.
If you're interested in training as a guide or steward, we're running training sessions in February and March.
So get involved with the local community and help promote part of Brixton's heritage in 2012!
