"Beautifully restored - reminds me of childhood visits to East Anglian windmills". Paul Crowley, visitor

Brixton Windmill is open for visits - details of dates and how to book on our Visit page.

• The Friends of Windmill Gardens have launched a fundraising campaign to get Brixton Windmill grinding flour again.
• The Friends are also collecting the memories that local people have of the mill and surrounding area, as well as methods of producing flour and baking bread. See our Mill Memories page if you have stories you'd like to share - and come to our open day on 8 June, when we'll be recording stories to use in a book and exhibition.
• If you have some great photos of Brixton Windmill or local wildlife, why not enter our photography competition? Entry is free - closing date is 9 June.
• Our annual parade and festival is on 22 June - this year's theme is "Cakes, puddings and pies". Find out how you can get involved.

We now have our own YouTube channel, where you can see videos like the one above, made by Will Glanville. Many thanks to Will for such high quality footage that really shows the mill in fine form!

We're gathering stories about the windmill and bread and flour production to share in a book, exhibition and performance.

If you'd like to share your story or help record the memories of others, see our Mill Memories page.

The Friends of Windmill Gardens have launched a big public appeal for money to get Brixton Windmill grinding again by 2016 – its 200th birthday!

A fund of £20,000 – to be raised in £5,000 stages – will help us sort out the best way to produce flour without affecting our popular free public open days and school visits at Brixton Windmill.

For more information on how to donate, see Flour Fund.

The Friends of Windmill Gardens were formed in 2003 to raise the profile of Brixton Windmill and campaign for its restoration. Now the mill is working again, we are helping to educate visitors and improve the surrounding park.
