We come here a lot. Nice cafe overlooking the park so we can sit and enjoy a coffee whilst the kids play. Clever mining theme park with some different features to your usual swings and slides. Often have special activities for school holidays. I loved the ice sculptures in January, all included in the admission fee which is very cheap and you get an annual pass!
Friendly people and interesting points of interest, many of which have a video and/or audio presentation, but be aware the guys have VERY broad accents indeed. I enjoyed the fact that the signs are often a bit tounge in cheek whilst explaining life at the mine and wider community. There's even a section on the '80s strike which tries to be even handed making it very rare indeed. Really good day - it wasn't busy when we went and the weather was okay so bear that in mind.
Great place to visit, loads of space for the kids to run around while taking in some history. Cheap adult entry and kids are free.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
What a lovely day spent here Only thought we would be here an hour and spent well over 4 hours here Exploring learning enjoying the surroundings and buildings Enjoying the cafe for a quick bite to eat and refreshments Entrance cost becomes an annual ticket Ok it's not Beamish but what a great place to wander and learn about where we got coal and how hard it was to get it

Loved our visit here. Interesting museum, lovely café, very cheap annual tickets and a fabulous play area.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Totally brilliant place and right up my street. Gives you a great insight into the life of the miner and colliery during the last century. I love to learn about people's working lives in previous times. Watch the film in the Winding House and listen to the two guys talking about their life operating the cages all day long, moving men and materials up and down the shafts. They talk about their work with such affection and nostalgia. Some of these miner's took to painting pictures of mining life in their spare time and formed the Ashington Group of Artists. The best of their work is now proudly displayed in the permanent exhibition here. Whilst all amateur artists, the paintings are very good. Plenty of free parking here and not busy when I went. I really got a sense and feel for what this place would have been like when it was operating before it's closure in 1982. First class visit.
Nice place, lots of information about this mine and employees history. Pictures, exhibits, atmosphere, the whole family is good to go. There is also a restaurant and a playground for children, I recommend it.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Wonderful place. Really worth visiting. Great for children, too. We've been three times already and would love to come back.
