The Silver Mountain Experience, a unique visitor attraction based at a historic silver-lead mine just outside Aberystwyth, is gearing up for an exciting and delicious Easter event.
From April 8 to 24, this immersive experience invites visitors to meet Mr Balcombe, the eccentric mine manager who is venturing into the world of chocolate-making.
As he embarks on this sweet new business, he needs help to get his chocolate franchise up and running and he’s calling on visitors to lend a hand.
Visitors get to enjoy a guided tour with Mr Balcombe, where he’ll share the challenges of transitioning from mining to chocolate production and demonstrate how he’s repurposing mining equipment into chocolate-making machinery.
The adventure continues with a Chocolate Challenge, where visitors will need to locate hidden silver tickets around the site, with a tempting reward awaiting those who complete the quest.
Rumour has it that scrumptious treats await in the Miner’s Rest Café, helping to keep visitors fuelled for your visit.
All of these chocolate-themed activities are included in standard admission this Easter. The ticket also grants access to a choice of one guided or actor-led tour, taking visitors both above and below ground.
Set off on a family-friendly journey to hunt down the elusive dragon Grotty on the “A Dragon’s Tale” tour or brave the dark depths of “The Black Chasm,” a thrilling exploration into ancient myths and legends.
For history enthusiasts, “A Miner’s Life” offers a fascinating 280-year journey through Welsh mining history. Each ticket grants access to the mining museum, the onsite café, Woo Hoo Woods, play area and a range of family-friendly tours and trails.
To extend the fun even longer, Ultimate Xscape is onsite with the choice of two thrilling escape rooms. Head to www.ultimateexscape for more information.
The nearby Red Kite Café, just across from the site, offers delicious hot food to recharge after your adventures. For more details, visit www.redkitecafe.co.uk.
