About
Discover stories and secrets, as you go behind the scenes at Caphouse Colliery on an all-new special tour with our expert Mine Guides.
Let them take you on a journey above the surface at the National Coal Mining Museum and behind-the-scenes of Caphouse Colliery, including special places never normally seen by visitors.
Highlights include the Pithead Baths, a sneaky-peek down the museum’s drift mine, up into the Screens where the coal was once processed, and into the Lamp Room where you will get the chance to use a traditional miners’ lamp!
Tours run every day, at 11am, 1:30pm and 2:30pm
Although booking is not essential, it is strongly advised to avoid disappointment, as the National Coal Mining Museum cannot guarantee any on-the-day spaces.
