Somerset Coalfield Life at Radstock Museum

Situated in the centre of Radstock, the heart of the former Somerset Coalfield, Radstock Museum includes a range of re-creations of the lifestyle of the typical Somerset coalminer and his family including a Victorian Schoolroom, local shop, blacksmiths forge and coal mine. In addition a range of display cabinets and information boards reflect the history of the local area. Radstock Museum is an independent Museum, staffed almost exclusively by volunteers. Based on two floors with lift access to the mezzanine upper floor, you should allow at least 1.5 hours to walk round the Museum. A steward will be on hand should you require any assistance. We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or require any assistance please phone 01761 437722 or email info@radstockmuseum.co.uk.
