The Windmill grounds are open to visitors all year
round. However, we must stress there must be no
smoking anywhere within the grounds. Please
take any rubbish with you and please do not
climb on or attempt to move any part of the
Windmill.
Or come to one of our regular open days for a self guided tour (due to
Covid19) and view the machinery within the interior. There are also
displays on the Windmill’s history within the Roundhouse where you will
then find a mill related video, which will also be playing as part of the tour.
It makes for a different, educational and in whole a fascinating, fun day out
in Surrey for all the family
The Heritage Open Days is England's largest festival of history and culture,
bringing together over 2,000 organisations, 5,500 events and 46,000
