East Pool Mine

Visitors to East Pool Mine can learn about the history of mining in the local area and see two great beam engines, originally powered by high-pressure steam boilers introduced by local hero Richard Trevithick. The pumping engine is one of the largest surviving Cornish beam engines in the world. The restored winding engine is not currently working; it is undergoing some much needed conservation work to get it back in action.

East Pool Mine is one of over 200 attractions around the UK that Blue Peter badge holders can get into for free.

To gain free entry, each child must have a Blue Peter badge, a valid Blue Peter badge ID card and be accompanied by a full paying adult. If a paying adult is accompanied by two children with badges and valid badge cards, free entry will be given for both children.

If a disabled badge holder is accompanied by a registered carer, both can gain free entry. Carers must bring supporting documents.

Before you visit any of the attractions, grab a grown-up and read the Blue Peter Badge Attractions Terms and Conditions.

Find out how to apply for a Blue Peter badge today and remember to take your badge ID card to take advantage of this offer!
