We are delighted that our friends at the Somerset Coalfield Life at Radstock Museum have been able to reopen following the series of lockdowns over the last 18 months.

Thursday – 2-5pm

Friday – 2-5pm

Saturday 11-5pm

The museum asks that visitors continue to wear masks and use hand sanitiser when visiting.

Forthcoming events at the museum include a Children’s Trail, which takes place in October half term – visit the museum website or social media for more information about this.

We are also very pleased to hear that the museum has a new Chairman, Simon Carter, who has stepped into the role following the sad loss of Dr Nicolas Hall in June this year.

We wish the team at the museum the very best for the next few months.
