During the current Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions, we would ask that you:
- Wear a face covering whilst at Carnglaze Caverns in the Ticket Office, Craft Shop and whilst you are underground.
- Use the hand sanitiser points before the Ticket Office and on entering and leaving the Caverns.
- Wash your hands thoroughly if you use any of the toilet facilities.
- Observe the required social distancing.
As we come out of the current Lockdown, which we wish not to go back into, please follow the above protocols whilst at Carnglaze for everyone’s health and wellbeing.

Here you will find our Crystals and Crafts Shop selling faeries, fossils and fudge and also a variety of local crafts, gifts and minerals for all pockets. A booklet on the history of Carnglaze Caverns, written by Alan Pascoe, original owner and grandson of the last mine captain, is also available.
There is a refreshment area with picnic tables available both undercover and on the lawn. Hot and cold drinks plus snacks and ice creams are available from the Ticket Office. Please help us reduce our carbon footprint by making use of our recycling facilities.
