Alderley Mines Open Weekend

The next Open Weekend has been fixed for 2022. It is the weekend of 2nd and 3rd April and will be held at Wood Mine again. We had hoped to use Engine Vein but the safety work has not been completed so we have put that visit back to September 2022. The booking system is open but as it is a bit experimental at the moment, if you have any problems, please report them to the Webmaster. If you choose not to make a reservation, come to the reception anyway as space is usually available throughout the weekend. Trips start at 10 am and the last is at 4 pm. Numbers have been reduced to control the risk of spreading Covid and some other health protection measures will also be in place.

Bookings will remain open until late morning on 1st April at this link.
