Snibston Discovery Museum
A day of excitement inside and out!

Snibston is a multi-award-winning, flagship museum located on the site of the former Snibston Colliery.
Created by famous railway pioneer George Stephenson, the colliery buildings are rare and nationally important.
Snibston has the largest fashion and costume display outside London and is the biggest interactive science, design and technology museum in the East Midlands.

It holds a wealth of nationally important collections including the earliest medieval miners’ clothing and tools, Britain’s oldest surviving mobile theatre and the world’s oldest Auster light aircraft.

Featuring a large, outdoor play area, a community exhibition gallery, a free-to-enter country park and the historic Century Theatre, Snibston has something for everyone….it’s a day of excitement inside and out!

• Lifting a mini single handedly
• Making fire the primitive way
