Mountain-side tunnels leading to bat caves in a decommissioned mine at a national historic site – Britannia Mine Museum was made for Halloween! It will be hosting two weekends of Fang-tastic Halloween fun in October, filled with activities for children and adults of all ages.
The Museum’s very own Underground mine tunnel will be transformed into a bat cave where brave adventurers can take a spooky train ride deep into the mine to learn about the connections between mines and bats.
Visit the machine shop and step into the “Castle of Myth” vampire chamber, where the boundaries of legend and reality blur. Also, discover the “Bat out of the Darkness” exhibit, filled with informative displays and interactive activities that reveal the mysterious world of bats, their unique characteristics and incredible abilities. These little misunderstood creatures have had bad reputations over the years and most are based on misconceptions and myths. Visitors will learn about these mysterious and fascinating creatures living in the darkness of the mine and the conservation efforts to keep these habitats for bats intact.
The Britannia Mine Museum provides unique and memorable experiences that engage visitors of all ages. Enjoy fun exhibits and crowd favourites like the underground mine train, gold panning, the historic 20-storey concentrator Mill building and its BOOM! special effects show, the minerals and gem gallery, the gift shop and the Beaty Lundin Visitor Centre.

‘Caps starting goalkeeper for the night, Isaac Boehmer, made some huge stops including saving a crucial penalty on former Italian international Bernardeschi to keep the scores level. Boehmer would come up huge again in the 87th minute, denying a long shot from Bernardeschi to keep the match scoreless.
