Friends of Windmill Gardens and Brixton Brewery got together to host Brixton’s first beer and bread festival as part of the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the Windmill.
The sun shone, the queue for beer was substantial and there was music to enjoy along with beers and breads from local breweries and bakeries including Brixton Brewery, Canopy Beer Company, Clarkshaws Brewery, London Beer Lab, Old Post Office Bakery and Parissi.
A share of each Brixton Brewery sale will benefit the Windmill.
The event saw the official launch for sale of Brixton Windmill flour – in limited edition bags designed by Tyler, 6, of Holy Trinity School, who won a competition for local schools to design a bicentenary flour bag. The competition was judged by the windmill’s creative ambassador for 2016, Brixton-based fashion and design company Eley Kishimoto.
