For Autumn we have a fun SPOT THE GOLDEN COINS competition where golden coins have been placed throughout the caverns for children to count. Competition free on entry. Correct entry sheets will go into our Grand Summer Holiday Draw after 31st August, to win lovely prizes from the mine shop. The correct number of coins and lucky winner will be displayed on this page, after the draw. GOOD LUCK!
On Saturdays, we are running some exciting Deep Level excursions, going ‘off piste’ for curious visitors who are looking for a more demanding caving activity, exploring the intriguing, more remote caverns and passageways of the old mine workings. See our What’s On page for more details or book here
