A special opportunity to visit Wood Mine which was worked from the Bronze Age to the 20th century.
Guided tours and displays will be provided by the Derbyshire Caving Club.
People will be taken down in a small group and to make the trip easier and to add to the special nature of the Open Weekend, parts of the mine are floodlit and a circular tour is arranged.
Open Days usually start at about 10 am and end at about 5 pm (last admission 4 pm).
If you are planning to visit on an Open Weekend, you do not need to bring any special equipment but you should wear reasonable footwear and clothes which are not new as they may get a bit sandy or muddy. There are steps and, for some trips, a ladder that has to be climbed so you may be well advised to contact the caving club in advance if you have limited mobility or special needs so that we can adapt the trip to suit your requirements.
Timed tickets will be issued according to the number of leaders available at any one time.
Timed tickets will be available for booking before the Open Weekend but you can also get your ticket at any time on the day, giving you an opportunity to take a walk before you visit the mine. To book timed tickets on-line (up to midday on the Friday before or until all slots are full) visit the Derbyshire Caving Club website. There are charges for admission.
