Home Education Workshops (12-16 yrs)

Home Educators are always welcome at National Coal Mining Museum. Gain a deeper understanding of the museum with our specially tailored workshops.

The workshops are aimed at young people aged 12-16, if the young person you are looking to book for is younger than this – please see our Home Educators workshops for 7- 12 year olds. 

Wed 8, Thu 9 and Fri 10 July 2026

Hydraulic Woodworking Session: Use traditional woodworking tools to design and build their own wooden hydraulic machine. Drawing inspiration from the mechanical mechanisms in our rich Mechanics of Mining collection, you will explore how simple systems create complex motion.

We cannot issue a refund on these workshops due to non attendance or change the workshop to another day. Thank you for your understanding.
