Description

Our Carrs Mine trips on Open Days take about 90 minutes. On the trip we show old mining methods, talk about history, look at geology and see fluorescent minerals.

We provide lamps and helmets. We suggest that you wear outdoor clothing and footwear. The temperature underground is around 8C. The mine is usually dry underfoot, but may be a little muddy in places. We welcome all children who can walk and climb stairs – we don’t take babes in arms underground.

We are a charity with a 100% volunteer team. We suggest a donation for mine trips of £15 for adults and £7 for children. If you’re visiting as a group, we also a family ticket; 2 adults and 2 children for only £40.
