Rochford District Council is pleased to announce that the Rayleigh Windmill will be opening 2 days over the Winter School Holidays, on Wednesday 21 December 2022 and Wednesday 4 January 2023, 10am-1pm.
The award-winning Rayleigh Windmill, in Bellingham Lane, offers a host of activities for the whole family to enjoy, as well as an opportunity to learn about local history and see some breath-taking views from the top of the building. Also try your hand at milling flour!
A team of enthusiastic volunteers work hard to make the Grade II listed building an exciting place to visit.
Councillor Daniel Efde, Portfolio Holder for Customer Services, Legal & Leisure, said:
“You don’t need to travel miles to have a great day out with the children when we have the award-winning Rayleigh Windmill on our doorstep. We are excited to be opening this iconic venue for families to enjoy over the festive period.”
