Drift Mine: now open!
Join in with 300 years of history
Experience sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the Black Country as you explore shops, houses and industrial workshops rebuilt in our canalside village.
From the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity, discover the history of a small region that made a big impact on the people, culture and industry of the world as you say “ow am ya” to the people that made this place home, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two.
What’s more, when you pay for just one day, we give you a ticket to return as many times as you would like for a whole year with our UnChained Annual Pass – at no extra charge!
February half term: Living Dangerously
This half term (Sat 18 – Sun 26 February), explore the devastating disasters and downright bad luck that plagued Black Country workers. Take part in an activity trail, meet historic characters and discover the dangers that befell people of the past.
