The Kent Mining Museum

Dover & Deal

An exciting journey through the historic Kent coalfield

The aspiration for the Kent Mining Museum has always been to provide a unique experience that appeals to the whole family, while acting as a hub for other mining heritage centres and museums in East Kent.

The Kent Mining Museum, built on the former Betteshanger Colliery site, will draw on the collection that has been built up over the years by the East Kent coalfield communities. The Kent Mining Museum will help to complete the story of mining in the UK. It will create exhibitions and programmes that will educate, entertain, and engage people of all ages, backgrounds and interests.

Opening Hours: Weds-Sun 09:30-16:00. The museum is free entry, but donations are gratefully received.
