Visited just over a hour before closing so couldn't get to spend to much time looking at everything so will be returning as tickets are valid for 1 year. As I arrived I got my ticket and entered the museum wear I was greeted by a really friendly member of staff who told me a bit about the museum and what they have on display and wear each display is. There is everything from the history of printing, mineing and iron working there is even a little shop showing what you would have found in one and how things looked which is really interesting to see compaird to how things look now. This is a great museum with lots to see and able to learn so much from here. This museum had a café and small shop. There is toilets here. There is step free access to the museum but from what I could see it's only to the ground floor. I really hope to return very soon and spend more time...
Read moreRadstock museum is a really well maintained, and superbly curated museum in the mining town of Radstock.
Located over two floors there is enough local information here to satisfy the most curious of minds, and with some excellent interactive and physical displays there is plenty to keep the kids entertained.. and informed.
Even if you are not local the museum offers a keen insight into the lives of miners and the town in general in a time not so long ago.
The museum has an excellent little café and a very well stocked gift shop.
TIPS: If you are a BANES resident use your discovery card for a discount on the ticket price and if you keep your receipt/ticket you get another free entry.
Great for everyone - this is how a local...

I was hoping to introduce them to a local museum as well as attend an organised event. I thought part of the reason of doing this event was to open up the museum to young people....
