Film Locations

Authentic and Atmospheric

Big Pit is both a mine and a museum - a home to nationally-beloved Pit Head Baths, heavy machinery and a network of underground tunnels. Book these authentic, industrial locations for your music videos and photo shoots.

Contact us to arrange a visit

Going Underground

Underneath the museum is a network of tunnels and mine shafts, previously used by working coal miners.

Location filming is welcome, and each booking helps us preserve this authentic piece of industrial history.
