Cobweb To Close Windmill
29th October 2017
(12 noon)
Heage windmill closes for the season after the last weekend of October each year the ceremonial practice of putting her ‘to bed’ has developed into quite an event.
A large cobweb is slowly spun on the apron in front of the mill, its size being determined entirely by the number of people, both grown up and youngsters, who take part in the spinning operation. Under the guidance and tuition of our ‘head spider’, Lynn Allen, the cobweb, made from stretchy elastic, slowly emerges and then is gently laid close to the mill to ‘put her to sleep’ for the winter.
This year the web will be spun on Sunday October 29th, commencing at 12 noon and all are invited to come and participate in what is in fact a great communal event, with much enjoyment for all involved.
