Come along to our little museum and chat with former coal miners in a fantastic setting filled with artefacts and history, as well as experience what it was like working down the pit in our coal seam experience.
Former coal miners will be available every day from 10am-2pm (with the exception of Wednesdays and Sundays) to talk to members of the public about life underground, from both their own experience and that of generations of miners handed down stories. This year sees the 40th anniversary of the Miners' Strike, and we have a display focussed on the strike, plus volunteers who supported the strike both as miners and in women against pit closures, who will happily answer any questions visitors may have.
