About the Wind Energy Museum

The museum is located in Repps with Bastwick (close to Potter Heigham), Norfolk. NR295JU. We are situated only a few minutes walk from the River Thurne and public mooring is available on the banks going towards Potter Heigham. We feature full sized wind pumps, steam engines and a unique scoop wheel along with a  photographs, models of mills, stories and working examples  that  depict the evolution of drainage on the Broads.

Due to our broad collection of exhibits and activities  the Museum holds interest for all age groups.

The majority of the mills featured at the Museum are some of the last remaining examples of their kind in the UK.

Guided tours of the Museum add a personal touch to your visit and bring the exhibits alive with working demonstrations.

Make sure you check our Open Days .

Associated with the museum is Thurne Mill located via a 5 minute drive from the Museum or a leisurely stroll along the riverbank.  It is now 200+ years old, the wind pump is certainly one of the most iconic mills on the Broads.
