About
Join the National Coal Mining Museum for a jam-packed weekend of family fun celebrating the work of our incredible emergency services!
Meet and greet representatives from the Fire Service, Police, Mines Rescue and Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Enjoy live demonstrations throughout the two days, including experiencing the thrill of using a fire hose with the fire service. Learn first-hand about today’s emergency response teams and how they work together, explore emergency vehicles and the tools professionals use to save lives.
Get creative with themed crafts, and budding engineers can join IzWiz Robotics to build their very own LEGO emergency vehicles.
With live music, interactive activities, and delicious food from the café, it’s a brilliant day out that celebrates the vital work of our emergency services while offering a memorable experience for the whole family.
