Peak Cavern is an excellent venue for educational visits.
We cater for all age ranges from Key Stage 1 through
to GNVQ level. Special rates are offered for pre-booked
groups, and a special "joint ticket" is
available for groups wishing to visit both Peak and
Speedwell
Cavern.
Peak Cavern has a large undercover seating area for
groups to use as a picnic area on wet days. We suggest
allowing
1 hour and 15 minutes for your visit, which is taken
in two parts: a ropemaking demonstration, detailing
the social and industrial heritage of the cave entrance,
where we involve the students in helping to make a
rope,
which is then presented to the group to take back to
school. The second part is a tour of the inner showcave,
which is a classic natural water-formed limestone cavern.
Tours are tailored to meet the needs and abilities
of the various age groups, and we can place particular
emphasis
on any particular features you may be teaching at
the time. Please call to discuss your specific needs.
Special needs pupils can usually be accommodated,
but please call in advance to discuss individual
cases.
School Work Packs can be downloaded from the website
or sent by post on request.
Please contact us for further information.
