During your visit why not stop by the museum shop?

We stock a range of organic flour, several books, scientific games and souvenirs along with a selection of drinks from a bean to cup coffee machine.

The mill shop is open Wednesday to Sunday 10am-4pm.

A Journey Through Time

The History of Green's Windmill

Originally built in the early 19th century, Green’s Windmill has is a notable landmark in Nottingham. After falling into disrepair, it was meticulously restored in the 1980s to its former glory and now operates as both a working windmill and a museum dedicated to the science of milling and the life of its original owner, scientist George Green. Today, visitors can explore the mill, learn about traditional milling techniques, and even purchase flour milled on-site.
