Bolsover Exhibition:
In 1984-85 miners across the country took part in industrial action to try and prevent the closures of mining pits deemed uneconomic by the government. Bolsover has a rich mining heritage in the town and many locals joined and took part in the action.
This exhibition offers a compelling insight into the experiences and voices of the brave men and women who stood up to defend their jobs and communities.
Throughout the month, visitors can engage in a rich array of activities, including film screenings, thought-provoking talks, and in-depth lectures.
The events will also feature performances of music and songs inspired by the strike, creating an immersive and educational experience that honors the spirit of solidarity and resilience.
