This Easter at The Silver Mountain Experience, Mr Balcombe Returns!
From April 8th to 24th 2025, Mr Balcombe’s Chocolate Challenge returns, inviting visitors to meet Mr. Balcombe, the eccentric mine manager who is venturing into the world of chocolate-making.
As he embarks on this sweet new business, Mr. Balcombe needs help to get his chocolate franchise up and running – and he’s calling on visitors to lend a hand! Your visit includes a guided tour with Mr. Balcombe, where he’ll share the challenges of transitioning from mining to chocolate production and demonstrate how he’s repurposing mining equipment into chocolate-making machinery.
The adventure continues as you take part in the Chocolate Challenge, where visitors will need to locate hidden silver tickets around the site, with a tempting reward awaiting those who complete the quest. Rumour has it that scrumptious treats await in the Miner’s Rest Café, helping to keep you fuelled for your visit.
All of these chocolate-themed activities are included in standard admission this Easter. Your ticket also grants access to the choice of one guided or actor-led tour, taking you both above and below ground. Set off on a family-friendly journey to hunt down the elusive dragon Grotty on the “A Dragon’s Tale” tour, or brave the dark depths of “The Black Chasm,” a thrilling exploration into ancient myths and legends. For history enthusiasts, “A Miner’s Life” offers a fascinating 280-year journey through Welsh mining history. Each ticket grants access to the mining museum, the onsite café, Woo Hoo Woods, play area, and a range of family-friendly tours and trails.
To extend the fun even longer Ultimate Xscape is onsite with the choice of two thrilling escape rooms, head to www.ultimateexscape for more information.
