Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill Open Weekend
Our mill once again opened its doors to the public over National Mills Weekend 2025. Over the two days volunteers showed 70 visitors of all ages around the mill. They explained the history and operation, whilst also highlighting the 200 examples of graffiti and apotropaic marks made by millers over the past 300 years. We were blessed with exceptionally good weather. Whilst most visitors were local, some had travelled from as far afield as South Wales to visit the oldest surviving post mill in Leicestershire.
The mill will next be open as part of National Heritage Open Days on the weekend of 20/21 September. Small group visits can be arranged prior to that however, by emailing us at kibworthmill@spab.org.uk
If you would like to learn more about joining the team of volunteers at the mill, please use the same email address and we can let you know what it involves. As well as running open days and visits, we turn the sails on a regular basis and undertake basic maintenance as required. You would be very welcome to join us.
