There will be plenty of things to see and do including the Coventry and Warwickshire Spinners and Weavers demonstrating spinning and weaving with sheep wool.

John, David and Yvonne will tell visitors about the history of the Warwickshire tower mill which was built in 1826, on the site of a Post Mill (wooden mill).

The owner of the mill has records from the 1700s and believes there was a mill on this site since the 10th Century.

The address is: Windmill Lane, Balsall Common CV7 7GY.
