🆒 COOL COAL!

Big Pit is already a brilliant family day out — but here’s a fun extra: it’s also one of the COOLEST places you can escape to… literally.

Step underground and you’ll find a naturally chilled average temperature of 12°C – thanks to the mine’s powerful ventilation system, all controlled by the historic Fan House.
In operating pits, a sudden rise in temperature could signal danger, so keeping the air flowing was one of the most important jobs in any colliery.

So, if the weather above ground is feeling a bit too hot and sticky, come and join us to enjoy some natural underground air conditioning this half term!

Tickets can pre-booked or turn up on the day ℹ️ 👉 https://orlo.uk/iPk5M
