If you visit Snibston Discovery Museum there's also a colliery tour that's available on weekends and during school holidays.
The tour, which is led by informative ex-miners gives an overview
of what working in the colliery was like, including the extraction process and some of the risks.
Because the tour is of a disused colliery some of the outside surfaces are quite rough
and the old buildings have ramps into them.
As well as the main colliery tour, Snibston can offer an adapted tour to suit the needs of different people,
through a multimedia experience and handling of different objects.
However, this alternative tour does need to be booked in advance.
