NARBOROUGH BONE MILL OPEN DAYS 11th & 12th MAY 2024

including commemorating 80 years since the D Day landings.

The remains of the Narborough Bone Mill will be open to the public on the 11th and 12th May 2024 from 11am to 4pm as part of the National Mills Weekend.  We are also incorporating the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings in France for which we have received a grant from Breckland District Council.

We will have D Day memorabilia with screens displaying the landings, models for children (and adults) to play with and pictures/photos on display, along with radio controlled model tanks which can be driven around the site.  We have started making a model landscape to show a D Day beach scene. There will be a family quiz with a cash prize for the winner of £25.00.  Refreshments will be available including tea/coffee/squash and homemade cakes.  We will be planting poppy seeds in the wildflower garden. 

We will also have bone mill information available, a model of the mill in its working days on display and the water wheel turning.  Everyone is welcome including dogs.  Entry is free but donations are always appreciated.  The site is situated approximately 1 mile along the beautiful river Nar from the free car park at the Maltings, Narborough, PE32 1TE.   Should you need assistance to the site, transport can be provided by calling the number at the car park.  You will also be able to access the site from the Nar Valley Way during this time.  Toilets are available on site and at The Maltings.

For further information please contact us.

The above information will be in the May edition of the Nar Valley News and we will put signs on notice boards. We will promote the event on Narborough and surrounding towns and villages social media pages.

After the event, pictures of the open days will be added to this page.
