There are some heritage highlights on the horizon for National Mills Weekend!

At Heckington Windmill, Sunday brings the popular George Chambers Memorial Tractor Run, with a colourful parade of vintage tractors arriving at the mill – a fantastic sight for all ages and a great way to mark the weekend. Meanwhile, Cogglesford Watermill is teaming up with radio enthusiasts for Mills on the Air, linking heritage with modern technology as the mill takes to the airwaves as part of this national event, with the team of staff and volunteers milling on Sunday.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore local heritage, enjoy family-friendly activities and support our historic mills.

A Victorian chapel with a new lease of life.

The New Chapel at Greylees, Sleaford, is a beautifully restored Victorian chapel transformed into a unique luxury restaurant and events space, set within a stunning Grade II registered park and conservation area.

It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a tranquil, light‑filled setting - or experience a more atmospheric, slightly eerie feel when visiting in the evening, with late opening most nights.

Pay a visit and see it for yourself.
