We're open every day from 11am to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm)
The Museum of Cannock Chase offers free admission and tells the fascinating story of Cannock Chase, from its industrial beginnings, to its military role, famous local citizens, social history, domestic life and wildlife.
The museum site was once home to the Valley Colliery, the training pit for thousands of young men beginning their working lives in the local coal industry.
The pit has gone and in its place are over 30 acres of green space on the edge of Cannock Chase, at the gateway to the Hednesford Hills Nature Reserve.
Today the hills form one of the last remaining areas of heathland in Britain.
With free entry and a year-round programme of activities it is a great day out for the family!
The Museum of Cannock Chase is packed with fascinating stories for all the family. Learn about...
