Maintenance work at the National Coal Mining Museum for England
The National Coal Mining Museum for England in Wakefield, would like to inform visitors that the underground tour has be closed for 2 days in March. On the 29 and 30 of March, the cage which carries visitors down the 140 metre mine shaft will be undergoing maintenance work.
The Museum would still like to encourage visitors to enjoy the extensive exhibitions and activities available above ground. Why not take a look round the latest temporary exhibition by local artist Harry Malkin, visit Hope Pit, the second colliery site at the Museum, or see how the pit ponies are enjoying their retirement.
The Underground Tour will be available again from the 31 March, just in time for a packed schedule of Easter activities. Easter fun will start at the Museum on 2 April running through till 13 April. A number of activities will take place over Easter including the Easter Bunny and his Easter Egg Trail, family craft activities and a new nature trail. Maurice the Miner, the Museum’s mascot, will also be on site along with our Living History Interpreters.
