Holgate Windmill sits with views over the York Central site, sited on the hill created by the glacial moraine that defines the area.

The Holgate Windmill is York’s last surviving windmill and the oldest 5-sailed windmill in the country. The Holgate Windmill Preservation Trust and their volunteers have restored the windmill to working order and produce traditional stone-ground flour to sell.

In this talk and visit to the Windmill join Richie Green and Helen Hoult – Chair and Vice-Chair of the Holgate Windmill Preservation Trust – to share the history of windmill, getting it back into working order and how they’ve created an economic model to make the windmill sustainable long term.
