Visitors

Westmill Wind Farm is open to visits from schools, colleges, community/local groups, councillors and members of the public by appointment.

WeSET, the Westmill Wind Farm sponsored Sustainable Energy Trust, manages these site visits and so far over 10,000 visitors have been to the site. Visitors are shown around by a trained guide and by joining one of our tours you can get to see a wind-turbine up close.

The site is a working organic farm, depending on the time of the year visitors will see a variety of birds and other wildlife. Just remember to stop by the entrance to enjoy the sound sculpture! Every other year there is a major open event at the site, typically running over a week.

Westmill Sustainable Energy Trust (WeSET) is the charity set up by members of both Westmill Wind and Solar Cooperatives to spread the benefits of Westmill to the wider community. We carry out a wide range of activities, the core being educational work, local energy conservation and renewable energy initiatives and arts projects. As well as arranging guided tours of the site, once every two years WeSET organise a large event to promote community energy to the general public. Our hope is to encourage others to set up similar community owned renewable schemes.
