Norfolk Green Boat Show
Salhouse Broad, Norfolk
- Sun 19th September

Salhouse Broad is situated in the countryside outside Salhouse village and a footpath, about ¾ miles long, leads from the road to the waterside. Public car parking is available at the road. There will be an hourly ferry service by electric boat from the well-known village of Wroxham, which is about 2 miles up-river.

The Broads Green Boat Show is the original boat show dedicated to sustainable boating and green energy. The aim of the Show is to encourage ‘low carbon’ propulsion for boats – rowing, paddling, pedalling, sailing, electric and biofuel-powered – as well as to promote other aspects of environmentally-friendly design and construction.

A marquee will house stands for green traders, displays on sustainable developments in the Broads, roadshows and hands-on activities for children, with green goody bags full of handy tips, thought provoking information and water saving devices. Refreshments will be available and a traditional jazz band will provide entertainment in the afternoon.    Car parking will be available for visitors arriving by road but to encourage environmentally friendly travel a free electric water taxi service will run from Wroxham to Salhouse Broad every 45 minutes.

The water taxis will be electrically powered, providing visitors with a first hand experience of the advantages of quiet, electric propulsion.
