National Mills Day is an event in the United Kingdom. It occurs annually on the second Sunday in May. It started off as a single day event,[1] but expanded to include Saturday as well as Sunday, and is now promoted as National Mills Weekend. The event is coordinated by the Wind and Watermills section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.[2] Traditionally, many preserved wind and watermills that are usually closed to the general public open their doors and offer an insight into the mill workings and history.
In support of National Mills Day, since 2025 Nunsfield House Amateur Radio Club coordinates hundreds of Amateur Radio stations who operate from alongside and sometimes inside the mills. The event was previously organised by Denby Dale Amateur Radio Club since its inception in 1996.
