Classic Bikes and more at Heage Windmill
The season at Heage Windmill continues on Sunday 12th of May when we will have a visit of up to 100 classic motor bikes of all types and sizes. They will be at the mill from 11-am until about 3-00pm and will be displayed on the mill apron and on adjacent grass land.
The bikes are expected to range from tourers to out and out racers, and should include many well-known makes, such as BSA, Honda, Royal Enfield and maybe some beautiful Vincents and Harley Davidsons. A certificate, and the ‘Dave Cleaver’ trophy, commemorating a man who had just loved bikes, will be presented to the best turned out outfit on display.
But besides the bikes there will be the annual visit of Nunsfield Amateur Radio Club who will set up a temporary station at the mill and will be transmitting and seeking to make contact with other mills around the world.
This is a special Mills Weekend which takes place across the UK every May, with more than 300 windmills and watermills opening their doors to the public to recognise their importance in the Nations industrial past. Heage Windmill is however, open every weekend from April to the end of October, but is of course, participating.
Backing up the above will be various stalls and refreshments and of course guided tours of the mill will take place. There is good parking available and admission to the site is free, although donations are welcome.
