Windmill open days.
Bidston Windmill will be closed until Spring next year, as bats are wont to hibernate in the windmill. The schedule for Windmill open days in 2024 will be announce here in due course. If you’d like to help with opening the windmill next year, please contact us!
There is a minimum height restriction for access to the higher floors (1.06m). Children under 11 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Admission is free, but donations to the Friends of Bidston Hill are welcome. The Windmill is closed during the winter, when hibernating bats are in residence.
