Every Christmas Eve the Derbyshire lead miners would leave a candle burning in their mine to please the spirits in that mine and bring good fortune for the following year. We continue that tradition and welcome you to join our team. This tour of Temple Mine focuses on the traditions of the lead miners and their superstitions. Pre-booking required - ring 01629 583834.
