The Tours
BOOKING IS PREFERRED – Please Pre-book tours by ringing 01297 680 282 to avoid disappointment as tour times can change due to visitor numbers.
Disabled customers are welcome, however due to the nature of the site disabled access is limited so please call to discuss your needs. Regrettably we do not offer a disability discount or a carers allowance.
Group bookings are welcome and often discounted for higher numbers, please call and ask for Steve for information regarding group booking.
Our guides will take you on an hour long tour through the vast man-made complex of underground caverns with their mighty halls of vaulted roofs and pillars of Beer Stone which have been likened to a vast underground cathedral.
See for yourself the methods used to quarry and deliver the huge blocks of stone, the working conditions, the hardships endured and the dangers faced daily by the work-force using only the light from a flickering tallow candle and you may never again see a famous building with the same eyes.
The caves are cool so please bring warm clothing and it’s best to arrive at least 10 mins before the tours start.
