National Coal Mining Museum for England at Caphouse Colliery

Fuel learning across the curriculum with a visit to the National Coal Mining Museum and give your pupils a unique experience they will never forget.

Our historic colliery buildings, interactive galleries and the chance to go underground in a real coal mine provide a creative learning environment where pupils can investigate the past, solve a scientific problem, handle objects and enjoy the great outdoors.

Whether you are studying local history, looking for STEM activities or inspiration for a literacy or art project the Museum has so much to offer you and your pupils.

To find out more about the range of activities we offer download the relevant Learning Programme from the document list on the right or speak to a member of the Education Team to get help with planning your visit.
