We construct a compact, simply connected manifold with holonomy $\mathrm{G}_2$ that is non-formal. We use the construction method of compact torsion-free $\mathrm{G}_2$ manifolds developed by D.D. Joyce and S. Karigiannis. A non-vanishing triple Massey product is obtained by arranging the singular locus in a particular configuration.
