Treak Cliff Cavern Carols By Candlelight.
A unique Christmas experience for family and friends as you sing your favourite Carols in the Witch's Cave by candlelight to create a festive atmosphere.
The carol singing lasts for approximately one hour, with hot mulled wine and mince pies afterwards.
Children aged 4 and under are FREE and do not need to have tickets.
The self-guided audio tour will explain how Blue John Stone was formed, miners in the 1750s constructed a tunnel using only hand tools to reach the Blue John Stone deposits within the hill, and you will see incredible veins of the stone across the cavern roof and walls.
The tour descends deeper into the hill where you will experience the water worn chambers of natural limestone cavern formations.
You can browse our shop for Christmas gifts with a choice Blue John jewellery and other items made in our onsite workshops, or choose rocks and minerals from all over the world!
Just a couple of things to bear in mind. Depending on the weather it can be very cold up here so please do dress for the weather and if its been raining leading up to your visit it may also be very wet in the cavern itself, check before you travel.
