The National Slate Museum is located in the Victorian workshops built in the shadow of Elidir mountain, site of the vast Dinorwig quarry. Here you can travel into the past of an industry and a way of life that has chiselled itself into the very being of this country.
There is a charge for curriculum focused sessions led by Museum staff.
There are four different prices (excluding VAT):
- For sessions of up to 1 hour for up to 15 pupils – £40
- For sessions of up to 1 hour for up to 35 pupils – £60
- For sessions of up to half a day for up to 35 pupils – £100
- Special Educational Needs groups in Wales are eligible for free sessions.
