Museum's Mission Statement
The National Coal Mining Museum for England aims to keep coal mining alive by collecting and preserving the industry’s rich heritage, creating enjoyable and inspiring ways to learn for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

Objectives of the Charity
To advance the education of the public in the history of mining in England by the provision and maintenance of a museum both underground and on the surface at the former Caphouse Colliery for the demonstration of past and contemporary mining methods and the exhibition of machinery and other items connected with mining and industrial archaeology.

Love storytelling, history and a bit of crafting?
We're looking for Wacky Wednesday volunteers to join our friendly team at the National Coal Mining Museum!
Every Wednesday morning, our under-5s session, allows children to discover the Museum through stories, songs, crafts and play. From What is Coal? to Animals Underground, no two weeks are the same.

As a Wacky Wednesday facilitator, you will:

Welcome families and help them settle in
Join in with stories and songs
Support children and carers at our craft and activity tables
Help make the session fun, safe and welcoming
Work closely with staff and volunteers to plan sessions

You don't need to be a performer. Just be warm, patient and enthusiastic.
