Access Guide

 Can I bring my dog?

The National Slate Museum is happy to welcome trained assistance dogs, but we do not allow any other animals into the film theatre, galleries, historic houses, slate splitting demonstration, or the café.  

Dogs are allowed in all other areas, but must be kept on short leads at all times. 

Water bowls are provided at the museum entrance and by the cafés.

‘Pooper-scoopers’ are available on entering the Museum and we appreciate your co-operation in keeping the Museum clean and safe.

 Eat, drink, shop

Our Gift Shop, which has been inspired by the underground experience and our collections, will be open during your visit, selling a wide selection of bespoke products and gifts. 

Our Coffee Shop is open daily 10am-4pm serving a small range of hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks. 

You're welcome to bring a picnic to the Museum, but please take your rubbish home with you and help us keep Big Pit tidy. 

 Coach Groups

Group visits can be made during our normal opening times and admission is free.

Please pre-book your group by emailing slate@museumwales.ac.uk for the following benefits: 

  • 10% off in the gift shop (£5pp min. spend) for your visitors.
  • Complimentary refreshments for the coach driver (on production of ID).
