Deep Down Underground - Full or Half Day Workshop

Pupils will explore coal mining in Barnsley using objects and maps from our inspiring archive and museum collections.

They will handle mining objects, explore the Experience Barnsley Museum, which will be closed to the public for your use throughout the day, and understand map progression over time. Pupils will make a local history study.

This workshop is suitable for one class (maximum 36 pupils) - if you'd like to bring two classes please ask us about our half day option.
