Thanks to an early Easter, Wilton Windmill will be open for more days than ever this summer.
We shall open on Easter Sunday 31 March, and Easter Monday 1 April and thereafter on Sundays and Bank Holidays until 29 September. We shall also be open on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 May to celebrate the National Mills Weekend. There are also plans for another Open Day in July as well as a Vintage Car Meet in August.
Guided tours will run between 2pm and 5pm and the Granary Museum will be available to explore.
Hot and cold drinks, ice creams and cakes will be available in the Shepherd’s Hut and visitors are most welcome to bring their own picnics.
The site, of course, remains open for picnickers throughout the year even when the mill is closed. And so does the portaloo!
Special attractions this year include the return on Saturday 15 June and Sunday 16 June of the popular Smoke and Mirrors Theatre Company with their not-wholly serious Murder Mystery. This year it’s Burying the Hatchet – a story of skulduggery in a Michelin starred restaurant in Wiltshire. It’s a memorable way to spend a summer evening and comes complete with our own gourmet hog-roast and well-stocked bar.
