Clearwell Caves are closed until 28th November when we open for our Christmas event: The Festive Forest..
We hope you enjoyed doing our Big Pumpkin Count through Halloween Half Term. For those of you that wanted to know… there were 39 pumpkins!
Our next Deep Level excursions, going ‘off piste’ for some fun, more demanding caving activities are running from February Half Term (from the 13th February 2027). The first trip would also make a great romantic adventure, over the Valentines Day weekend!
Don’t miss our Christmas Event this year: The Festive Forest on our 40th year: tickets are on sale now.

SAVOUR THE DEPTHS OF FLAVOUR AT THE LAMPROOM CAFÉ
The Lamproom Café sits above ground as the only marker for the adventure taking place below. The Café serves delicious cakes and snacks along with teas and all your favourite coffees. Our café is another delightful discovery hidden amongst the trees of the Forest.
AS SEEN ON SCREEN
A location this unique naturally provides extraordinary magic and wonder, which is why over the years we’ve played host to the filming of numerous programs, including The Winter King, Willow, The Change, Dr Who, His Dark Materials, Cursed, Britannia and many others.
