Somerset Coalfield Life at Radstock Museum offers educational visits to local schools and is also a great destination for a private group or social visit.
School and Educational Visits
We love having children’s groups at the Museum and work hard to give them a good time and a quality educational experience.
We offer a wide range of facilities for school visits.
The Museum has a Victorian Schoolroom where the children can take part in role-play lessons and a Co-op Shop where we have a small handling collection which promotes discussion in small groups followed by feedback to the rest of the class.
We also use the Miner’s cottage kitchen and the atmospheric re-constructed Coal Mine.
Children have the opportunity to:
- Attend and participate in a Victorian school lesson
- Visit the Victorian shop
- Visit a typical miner’s cottage
- Visit a replica coal mine
- Visit the blacksmith’s forge
- Handle Victorian & early 20th century objects and guess their use
- See and handle toys from the past
We are also able to discuss and respond to the requests of individual groups for particular tailored activities.
For further information please email education@radstockmuseum.co.uk

During school visits children remain the responsibility of the teachers/helpers at all times.
The Museum’s gift shop can be open on request.
