Mills open for National Mills Weekend, May 9th and 10th, 2026 🌍

In years gone by, SPAB, who organize National Mills Weekend, published a comprehensive list of mills that were due to open over the weekend, in fact there was a whole website they dedicated to that information. However that website now appears to be owned by a cyber squatter, and although much of the mills info is still present, it is vastly out of date (last updated in 2018), and the site is set up to link to a casino.

The following is a far from comprehensive list of mills that I'm aware of that will be open for National Mills Weekend 2026. This information may be incorrect - please make your own local enquiries especially if travelling a long distance. Most of this information has come from the Facebook groups Windmill Hoppers and Watermill Hoppers.
