Somerset Coalfield Life

Information on Opening Times, Tickets, How to Find Us and Access for All.

There is so much going on at Radstock Museum!

Our permanent displays tell you of the life of a Somerset miner and his family and show how the communities of the coalfield were integrated.

School visits are arranged with the Education Team lead volunteer. The Museum is also a great destination for a group or social visit.

The SHOP specialises in publications relating to the heritage of the area. We also stock greetings cards, gifts and memorabilia.

Radstock Museum is a great place to be a VOLUNTEER. Come and join us.
