Museum Report

We are not just a Steam museum, we are steeped in history going back several generations. Sir Charles Flower was one of those men who started what is now the RNLI. In 1881 William James Holmes returned from Scotland (his father having married the daughter of Sir Charles Flower). His son William Charles Flower Homes took over the estate in 1908 and built a generator and produced the first electricity in Strumpshaw.

Strumpshaw Steam Rally Report

There are around 50 working Steam Engines, 60 working Miniature Steam Engines, all of which take part in parades in the grand ring, along with 100 tractors, vintage and classic cars and motorbikes. There are static displays of military vehicles, stationary engines, fire engines and vintage equipment and vehicles.

A lovely day out! I took my little girl here and she loved it, lots to see, she got to ride the arc and train (all included in the ticket price) and the volunteers to run it were all so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend, even more so when there is an event on!

Love this quite beautiful place. Easy access to Norwich and the Broads.
Short drive, walk, cycle ride to amazing wetland habitats if you you like nature at its best. Highly recommended.

This was a great place, fabulous collection. Loved the Organs, and hearing them all play was a real treat. All the Engines kept in pristine condition. Well worth it.

A great little museum, had a good time here, some fantastic steam engines, I use a wheelchair and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, even getting me on the train ride. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable about the collection. Thanks for a delightful time.

Went to the steam rally at the museum. Really really good day out. The museum itself is rather small but on event days ( they have many ) it's really good.
