Please select a time slot to help reduce queues. Simply collect your map at this time to begin and take as long as you like to complete the trail and explore the windmill.



Free parking for the event will be at Dereham Neatherd High School, NR20 3AX. A limited number of disabled parking bays are available at the windmill itself. Refreshments will be available from the Partea Hut tearoom on site, as well as an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities. If the weather is nice, we recommend bringing a picnic blanket to enjoy your refreshments, as we expect to be busy and all park benches and seating could be in high demand. 


£1 from every ticket is donated to Dereham Windmill (registered charity no. 1108549), to help look after the Grade II listed building and historic site for future generations to enjoy. There is no charge for family members accompanying a participating child.
