Morris dancers and milling demonstrations at free Brixton Windmill harvest festival

Brixton Windmill is holding its Harvest Festival on Sunday 27 September 2026, and entry is free. The festival runs for four hours, from 1pm to 5pm, in the gardens around the windmill just off Brixton Hill.

Several bands will play through the afternoon. Food and local beer will be available, and the mill itself will be put to work in milling demonstrations. Children have activities of their own.

The Brixton Tatterjacks Morris, often shortened to the BTJs, are also back in action. The side is known for enthusiastic bell jangling and stick clattering, and for a fondness for ale. They are due to dance at 3.30pm.
