Snibston Development Proposals

Snibston is undertaking an ambitious £15 million project to transform the site into a visitor attraction of the future.  Over the next twelve months we are asking a range of funders for money to develop three main areas of the site. This development is planned to take place over the next five to ten years.

The proposals are:-

Technology Gallery

This proposal is about creating a new interactive gallery that explores the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  

We want to create an exhibition and, possibly, a mine simulation in the colliery buildings which will reflect the coalmining history of Snibston and its communities.  

There is already a country park and nature reserve at Snibston, we would like to add a visitor centre, nature trails, sculptures, picnic areas and other special outdoor places to enjoy.  

This proposal focuses on opportunities to showcase current and future renewable energies and technologies at Snibston.
