October Half Term

October Half Term @ Pit!

At the National Coal Mining Museum, we've got great ideas for all the family this October Half Term! Why not make a day of it and visit us for one of our unique events and join in an activity.

Monday October 29th – Friday November 2nd you can make Halloween themed crafts – join us to create some creepy crawlies and find out about the colliery cats.

Or why not book our Halloween Experience on the 30th & 31st October. Dare you take our spooky tour?
