We'll be back soon...

The Silver Mountain Experience is currently closed as we take a short pause to review and plan the next chapter of the attraction.
We’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve created and the memories shared with our visitors, and we’re excited about what the future may hold.
Thank you for your support and understanding, we hope to share more updates with you soon.

 

SCHOOL TRIPS

Bring Learning to Life at The Silver Mountain Experience.

Step away from the classroom and into a world where history, myth, and adventure collide. At The Silver Mountain Experience, pupils don’t just learn about the past, they experience it.

Our unique attraction combines rich industrial heritage with immersive, interactive storytelling, offering a truly memorable visit that caters to a wide range of ages and learning objectives. Whether you’re studying local history, geology, or simply looking for a fun and educational day out, we can tailor your school trip to suit your group’s needs.

Tailored School Visits.

We offer guided tours specifically for educational groups, with flexible options to suit your preferred balance of learning and entertainment. Choose a traditional heritage-focussed tour, or opt for a more theatrical, fantasy-led experience, or combine the two for a fun and informative adventure through time.

Tailored guided tours are available for educational groups, where you can choose the mix of the tour. Choose our heritage tour, or add a more entertaining fantasy experience, which may be blended into one learning but fun journey. Gem and gold panning is also available, where groups can find treasure in our dedicated panning area. 

Whether your focus is history, science, storytelling or fun, a visit to The Silver Mountain Experience is an unforgettable learning opportunity that truly engages the imagination.

    I wanted to email you and let you know how much the children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Silver Mines. In fact several of the children did say it was the best trip they had been on and we regularly go to lots of places with the play scheme.

    We attended with 15 children aged between 3 and 8years old. We can highly recommend this place, the children thoroughly enjoyed, and one of their highlights was panning for Silver. The staff were fantastic and catered for all ages.
