Anyone remotely interested in this fascinating and once dominant industry must book a slot on the underground tour. Extended No 7 drift tour lead by Richard completely engrossing.

What an amazing experience! You’re taken underground by very experienced ex-miners into a hidden world that was so important to this country as a whole and provided work & livelihoods for thousands of families over so many generations. Highly recommended.

Went on the extended mine tour (no 7). Roger was our guide. He was really informative. It was very interesting. It was a little muddy and slippy, but the ropes were helpfully placed. Highly recommend.

It was a awesome time we had at Apedale mine. Everyone was very friendly from the manager staff and all the miner. Also the ladies who run the cafe where the food was lovely and very reasonable. I went down the mine with a top tour guide his name was Richard. He told me all about the mine the history of the mines and more. His knowledge of the mines was absolutely amazing second to none. I would definitely vist again. A great day out and a brilliant chance to get down a real mine.

A great visit to Apedale country park. We, the North Staffs Soroptimists, met at the cafe for a coffee before heading off on a 1.5 hour walk around the park. We headed back to the cafe for snacks. The cafe staff were very friendly and helpful .
Two of us decided to go on a Mine Tour. This was fantastic. Richard, our guide, gave us an in-depth insight into the lives of the miners. He showed us the 2 types of shafts, with a 1:4 gradient which we walked through and the 1:10 gradient. He explained how coal was removed using basic machinery and explosives. It was astonishing to learn that the paramedics, police and fire service staff were not allowed in mines.
I will be going back to do the deep mine tour. Thank you Richard, we had a great time 😁😁

I didn’t even know the place was there, we found it entirely by accident - and saw there were mine tours… we went in and the receptionist immediately put us on a tour even though we should have waited an hour. We then went down into a real mine which was fascinating. Richard was our tour guide and had been a miner for years so there was nothing he didn’t know! He allowed us to ask any questions we wanted and it was one of the most fascinating tours I’ve ever done. Not only did we learn about the mines, but also about what the miners would have been expected to do and what their days were like. My 20 year old son also loved it. I think it would be interesting and exciting for people of any age. Afterwards we went on a beautiful walk round the woods. I loved this place.

We had an amazing tour of the coal mine thanks to Charlie. He is a total expert and we learnt a lot from his own experiences working in mines, we even got to take some coal home as a souvenir! The museum is also lovely and the cafe is amazing, we couldn’t believe how cheap the prices were! A brilliant day out!

Me and my partner did a mine tour in May 2023 with Ian, one of the volunteer mining guides, we loved it so much we decided to return in October with some friends from Scotland!
This time Charlie gave us a tour of the mine and it was excellent. Both Ian and Charlie are a credit to the museum! We loved hearing about their personal stories of mining and growing up in those communities as it’s a real link to our history!
The tours are fascinating and this is a real gem to revealing a core part of Staffordshire’s rich history!
Highly recommended!

I had such an excellent mine tour Apedale Heritage Centre with Richard today, most fascinating history, insightful and entertaining story. Talking to all the knowledgeable volunteers was absolutely priceless, these wonderful people really care for the history of the place and those who worked there. Coal mining was hard work and left a long-lasting legacy, it is important we remember this.
And the food in the cafe is so yummy - I had to have 2 pieces of that exceptional apple cake. Thank you so much for all you, friendly volunteers!

Is the centre open in the week during August school holidays?
Escrita el 15 de agosto de 2015
Hi, The café is open every day all year round. During these holidays the museum is usually open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we'd recommend calling ahead. Unfortunately, this year, we don't have the volunteer mine guides available to run week-day mine tours. Of course, mine tours are available at weekends, and Bank Holiday Mondays as usual.
