Recommend the museum. Very interesting and a real eye opener if you are not familiar with mining, it's harsh conditions and dangers. We were lucky enough to get given a talk by an underground mine rescuer who gave us a fascinating talk. As well as demonstrations on the evolution of mining lamps. In fact all the team were very knowledgeable and interesting with years of experience and knowledge between them.

Went to see the Ermine Street Guard conduct a Roman Reenactment which was 10/10. I also had a look around the vicinity and went to the café, would be a good day out for someone who likes trains or WWI.
Poor quality food and drink in the cafe and an over zealous approach to covid mitigations made the visiting experience not the best! On entering the centre, I stopped to assess the arrangements in place and ascertain where I had to put on my mask. At that time masks were not a generic requirement in cafes though I appreciated some cafes would ask for them. Before I even had chance to work this out I was pounced on. And asked if I had a mask to which I said yes and immediately started to pull it out of my bag to put it on. Before I had even got it part way out, I was sternly told to put my mask on, despite it being obvious I was already in the process of doing so. I politely asked the gentleman to give me a moment and I would soon have it on. Whilst continuing to put it on, I then received a lecture and told to put my mask on. I again politely asked him to give me a moment. Clearly over zealous. However I left him to his little moment of power and entered the cafe now fully masked. I then asked for a tea and coffee and a cheese sandwich and got what amounted to warm dish water, cardboard and plastic and a luke warm service. Such a disappointing experience. Not overly bothered as I'm thick skinned but it's a shame that people still can't be asked to provide a sensible level of service.
A place every one should visit See how the NCB brought coal from the mines and how hard men worked at it. Cafe serves homemade meals with a friendly voluntary staff.
Great walks and a very welcoming Cafe and visitors centre. A good place for all ages and abilities.
