Underground Tour
Travel 140m underground and discover 180 years of history with a charismatic former miner.
By booking our underground tour, you will get a traditional miners ‘check’, for which we require a £7.50 deposit. To support the Museum, after the tour you can keep your check and donate the £7.50 to help us keep the mine running. If you are a UK taxpayer, please help us further by Gift Aiding.
For safety, we have the following measures in place:
- Underground tours are only available for children 5 and over. Anyone under the age of 5 is NOT allowed underground.
- Party sizes will be limited to 15 visitors per tour. Please note, you may be on a tour with people outside of your household/group.
- There must be at least one adult for every five children going underground.
- ALL customers (including those who have pre-booked online) attending an Underground Tour need to report to Reception upon arrival to be issued their timed Miner's check. Without this we cannot admit you underground.
- We ask that visitors arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their tour so that we have time to check you in at Reception and issue you with a timed token for your trip.
- For groups of 8 or more please call our group booking service on 01924 848806.
- If anyone in your party requires wheelchair access, please call us on 01924 848806 to discuss your needs.

BOOST YOUR DONATION BY 25P OF GIFT AID FOR EVERY £1 YOU DONATE.
Gift Aid allows us to reclaim an extra 25p for every £1 from the tax you paid from the current tax year. There is no extra cost to you – all you need to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration with your name and address, which is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
You must be a UK taxpayer that has paid at least as much in Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax as the total amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your charitable donations in that tax year. It is your responsibility to pay any difference.
We will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you give us now, in the future and over the previous four years. So if you are eligible and want to make your donation go further, Gift Aid it!
We are a charity and every penny counts. Your donation, however large or small, is vital to us and is used to share the history of mining for everyone to learn about and enjoy.
