Latest Windmill News
September 2025
I’d like to say it’s nice to be back after a fabulous summer break, but I’d be lying. Sitting in front of a computer versus playing with my grandchildren on a beach in Northern Spain – you decide… Ho hum… That said, there is plenty to look forward to over the coming months at the Windmill. Here are a few dates for your diary.
On Thursday 18th September we are proud to support a really exciting new venture by local chef Gregg Brown. The Deddington Thursday Lunch Club will take place at the Windmill from 12:30pm. At last, our new kitchen will be put through its paces! Gregg’s mission: “to create a warm and welcoming space, where friendships flourish over home-cooked meals”. A choice of delicious mains, mouth-watering desserts followed by coffee and teas. All for £15. Email greggbrown@cook-school.co.uk by 8th September to book your place.
On Sunday 21st September from 2-4pm the Deddington Players will be holding auditions for this season’s panto – The Little Mermaid. Get yourself down to the Windmill if you think you can act or sing or help out backstage. All are welcome. The shows will take place on 22nd, 23rd and 24th January next year. Always a village highlight!
On Saturday 8th November from 7pm I am delighted to announce that we will be holding our 2nd Deddington Wine Festival. This fund-raising event was a huge success last year. Over 160 people enjoyed tasting 30 lovingly-selected wines with wine experts on hand to guide them through, not to mention the delicious complementary nibbles. This year, the organisation we have chosen to support is Driving Ukraine – you will probably have heard of it. An amazing local operation which saves limbs and lives by buying, preparing and delivering vehicles and aid to help evacuate wounded soldiers from the front line. More information in the next issue.
As well as these three ‘biggies’, all our regular clubs and groups will be starting back after the summer break. There is plenty to do, but we are always on the lookout for more. Check our website www.thewindmilldeddington.org if you would like to know what is going on. If you’d like to view our facilities in person, please contact Julie: enquiries@thewindmilldeddington.org or call 07720 834006.
See you at the Windmill!
