THE HISTORIC Berkswell Windmill will be open this weekend.
The windmill in Balsall Common will open its doors on Saturday (June 14) from noon until 4pm.
There will also be plenty of entertainment on offer at the Windmill Lane site including Morris Dancers and the Coventry Spinners and Weavers will be demonstrating their crafts- spinning sheep’s wool and dog fur into yarn, ready for weaving into fabrics.
Built in 1826 but last used as a working Windmill in 1948, it is thought to be one of the most complete mills in the country – with all of its original machinery still in tact.
There is a small range of play equipment for the under 5’s and visitors will be able to sit back and enjoy a cream tea and a free guided tour of this Grade 2 * Listed Working Windmill.
Entrance of £5 cash for adults , £1 cash under 16’s and free for under 12’s- includes a guided tour.
Dogs are not permitted unless they are Guide or Hearing Dogs.
There is on-street parking.
