Gunton's water-powered Sawmill is one of the top attractions in North Norfolk. The focus of the sawmill is to preserve and demonstrate aspects of England's industrial heritage. We run the 200 year old saw on open days and for private groups making it popular with tourists and locals alike. There is also a growing museum of woodland industries, building trades and other rural crafts, so we are looking for volunteers to help run and develop both the sawmill and exhibits.
We need practical people to operate the saw, stewards to engage with the public and explain the machinery and history of the sawmill. We are also looking for administrative 'Friends'. Professionals and experts to seek and apply for funding, update with the Facebook page and website and generally oversee and advise on what needs doing and chase it up. Rural crafts people and static displays are always popular so more of those for open days too.
We are hosting 2 volunteer days on February the 26th and March the 12th, 2pm till 4pm, adults only please. Sawmill gate will be open, NR11 7HL. If you would like to be involved please come along or contact us via the website.
