Give your gathering a story

A setting people will remember.

Set among historic pit buildings and beside the country park, Pleasley Pit offers an alternative setting for events, meetings and community gatherings.

Choose open outdoor grounds for a larger occasion, or the Ken Lomas room for a smaller group. The team can discuss the space, catering options and how the museum or a guided heritage experience might fit into your day.

Good planning starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you’re organising, your preferred date and the number of people you expect. Include any access needs, catering ideas and the facilities you’ll need.

For a large event, please discuss parking arrangements with the team in advance. Capacity, use of the space and any additional activities need to be agreed as part of your enquiry.
