The
Green Boat Show - A Silent
Sensation - 21st September
Salhouse
Broad, Norfolk 11am - 4pm
Following the
success of past Green Boat Shows we shall once again be at Salhouse Broad for this entirely environmentally friendly boat
show. The Broads Green Boat Show is the only boat show dedicated
to sustainable boating and green energy. The aim of the Show is
to encourage ‘low carbon’ propulsion for boats – rowing,
paddling, pedaling, sailing, electric and biofuel-powered – as
well as to promote other aspects of environmentally-friendly
design and construction.
The
Green Boat Show Salhouse
Broad, Norfolk
The event is a show-place for green energy – fuel cells,
solar panels, wind turbines – and for all types of ‘low impact’
materials and products that encourage responsible use of our
waterways.
Join us for a fun day out for all the family, at the
privately-owned Salhouse Broad, a tranquil and undiscovered
beauty spot in the Norfolk Broads, and find out more about green
boating. There's plenty to see and do, and you can take to the
water in a whole range of environmentally friendly boats.
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 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. 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.

organised by The Broads Society and The Electric Boat
Association.
