We hold annual events and regular activities at the cavern. Any news items – in particular, closures due to bad weather – will also appear here.
From October 24th 2018 to January 31st 2019, visitors can polish and take home their very own Blue John Christmas tree decoration or window hanger.
Our skilled craftspeople will guide you through the processes of creating your own unique Blue John ornament in our new visitor workshop area.
Prices for this activity start at £10 per hanger / decoration.
This is an activity is available throughout the school holidays when people of all ages can select, prepare and polish a slice of Blue John Stone to take home.
During other (school term) dates, if there is a member of staff available, you can still participate in this activity.
A very popular event at Christmas is our festive underground singalong, Carols by Candlelight.
6 of the 7 Carol events are at 2.00pm and last for approx 1 hour with free mulled wine and mince pie afterwards.
The Christmas Eve Carols By Candlelight starts at 12 noon.
Soft drinks and biscuits also available if preferred.
A guided tour and a present for younger ones from Santa are also included in the ticket price.
Please note that this is a ‘singalong’ event.
Tickets are on sale from September 1st 2019.
Please allow plenty of time to reach the caverns before the event starts. Although we do offer free parking, we are not able to accommodate everyone but parking on the main road leading to the cavern is possible.
NB because of the relatively steep access up to the concert chamber and there is no wheelchair access to the cavern.
Take a look at our risk assessment if you are unsure of the effort involved and fitness required. Please call us on 01433 620 534 with any questions and /or to book tickets for the carols.
Join us at Christmas for our festive underground singalong, when the cavern appears even more magical!
This is a popular event so please book early because spaces are limited.
Another popular event is our annual Easter Egg Hunt.
Generally held over the Easter weekend, you can look out for the Easter Bunny during your search.
There are free chocolate eggs for all children. Normal cavern entry charges apply.
The Easter Bunny – how many eggs can you find?
