Apedale Heritage Centre

Discover the lost industrial heritage of the Apedale Valley and the history of the surrounding area when you visit this unique attraction. We are located in the beautiful Apedale Community Country Park, North Staffordshire, in an area that was once an industrial powerhouse. At weekends and Bank Holidays we offer tours of an authentic drift mine. Mine tours run on the hour from 11am until the last tour at 3pm. Tours cost £6 for adults and £4 for children (over 5 only) and senior citizens. Group bookings may also be made for schools and organisations etc. Please enquire via our website or at our Reception Desk. Our museum is also open at weekends and Bank holidays, plus several week days. There you can learn about the industries and history of Apedale and the local area. There will usually be a guide on hand who will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. There are several quiz sheets for children of all ages to have fun discovering the artifacts and information in the museum. These are sited on a table in the Roman section and available free of charge. Entry to the museum is free, although we'd appreciate it if you dropped a donation in our red box! The cafe is open every day, so even if you are just passing, you can come in for a cuppa [and a warm!] or to try some North Staffordshire Oatcakes, a speciality of the Potteries. We look forward to seeing you and/or your family and friends soon!

Reviewed By IanM330 - Newcastle-under-Lyme, United Kingdom

One of the best little pubs in Newcastle. The first micro pub in the town and still the very best. When it first opened it was a bit of a novelty but soon acquired its own locals. Now it is just a great little pub with superb staff and a constantly changing and well thought out cellar. Brilliant! I love it. So do many others.

As title. Went tonight for the first time. Absolutely loved it. Myself and 3 kids various ages sat in the most comfortable reclining leather chairs with its own table. Plenty of space either side loads of leg room. Seriously can’t believe I’ve been going odeon cramped up for 2 hours a time Welcome to take own food and drink. People were eating McDonald’s etc. Note. This did not put us off as there’s so much space you don’t notice your surroundings. Spotlessly clean too. Thankyou Vue x
