Celebrate the dark skies of the North Pennines and join us for a free mine trip like no other at this evening event held at Nenthead Mines.
During this workshop you will learn how to make your own paper lantern that you will get to take away with you. Following the workshop in making lanterns you will then be able to walk in the footsteps of miner's past, and process through the mine using your lantern. This includes an underground tour of the mine led by knowledgeable volunteers from Nenthead Mines Conservation Society.
Advance booking is essential - https://northpennines.org.uk/event/lantern-making-and-nighttime-mine-trip/
Aimed at families with children aged 7+
Accessibility information: the walk through the mine site and the underground portion is generally level and flat. The underground tour is generally tall enough to walk at full height, although the first approximately 30m requires you to duck as this is the shortest part of the mine. There are two short ladders to climb as part of the mine tour which have handrails and are firmly installed. Please note any children joining will need to be able to walk by themselves.
This event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 25 October to 3 November 2024 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org
