what is wind week?

Wind Week is BWEA’s annual event for all the family.

What better way to find out more about wind energy – an incredible free, clean power that is available to use in abundance here in the UK – than to visit a wind farm during Wind Week 09?

There will be lots of fun happening at selected wind farms up and down the country, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity of a great family day out. Learn how a turbine actually works and why wind power is playing a very important role in tackling Climate Change. Some wind farms will again be hosting lots of activities from face-painting, science shows, colouring competitions, fact-finding tours and balloon modelling.

Wind Week has been growing in popularity each year, with 20 wind farms open during the 2008 celebration. This year we hope that there will be more opportunity than ever before to find out all about wind power.

Take a look on our wind farm finder to find out what’s happening near you.
