Panning for Gems
Definitely a firm favourite here at Geevor, panning for gems is a brilliant hands-on activity, whatever you find you can keep!
Miners Talks
We are very lucky to have some of the former miners still working and volunteering here. They love to share their memories and stories with our visitors. If you want to know what it was like to work deep underground and out underneath the sea, who better to ask! Miners Talks take place in The Dry the old miners locker room.
New 2024 Geevor Quiz!
Our new 'What metals are in your phone?' quiz is a brilliant way to learn all about metal mining. If you find all of the correct answers you win a fantastic medal made of tin that was cast in Cornwall by St Justin!
Hand Drilling
Think you could cut it as a miner? Why not put your skills to the test and have a go at this real mining technique. Hand drilling was used by miners hundreds of years ago to break the rock.
