Thurne Mill volunteers are working towards an exciting improvement project for 2026, with plans to repaint the historic mill now underway.

The team is currently awaiting confirmation of valuable sponsorship to support the scaffolding required for the work. Once confirmed, this will mark a significant step in preserving the mill as an important local landmark.

Run entirely by dedicated volunteers, Thurne Mill continues to welcome visitors, host special events, and maintain the working condition of the mill through regular upkeep.

The site works closely with the nearby Wind Energy Museum, together telling the story of Norfolk’s drainage heritage and the evolution of wind power.
