Corris Mine Explorers

A rare opportunity to explore an abandoned Welsh slate mine with one of Wales’ most experienced mine explorers. During the trip you will find abandoned machinery, tools, candles and may other mining relics left behind by the miners when the slate mine closed in the early 1970s. A section of this old Braichgoch Slate Mine is occupied by the King Arthur’s Labyrinth adventure and during the mine exploration trips you can look down on the adventure; like a behind the scenes tour. Corris Mine Explorers is open all year and bookings should be made in advance of arrival.

The Otherworld Theatre

Enjoy the mystery and magic of our short film Rhiannon in the recently opened Otherworld Theatre. Showing on a loop throughout the day Rhiannon tells the tragic, yet courageous tale of a young woman taken from the anceint Welsh book  of stories, "The Mabinogion".

Rhiannon, worshipped by the Celts as the goddess of horses, became an important character in the celebrated tales. Our film, which uses impressive state of the art animation, tells the story of this beautiful and courageous legendary figure. Rhiannon gives birth to a baby boy, but on May Day, the baby is snatched after somebody or something puts a spell on the maids guarding him. When the maids realise what has happened, they seek to protect themselves by persuading everyone that Rhiannon has killed the baby, a crime for which she is punished for many years to come in this story of mystery, magic and subterfuge... "Rhiannon" will be shown on a loop, in English, throughout the day.

The Otherworld Theatre also houses a small exhibition and bookshop. The adjoining exhibition links the legend of King Arthur to these much loved stories. Did you know, for example, that one of the earliest references to the iconic figure of King Arthur was in "The Mabinogion". Prior to that, Arthur was mentioned in a famous 7th century poem called "Y Gododdin". Through materials like these, we can begin to piece together the myth of the man and follow his transition from celtic warlord to the international hero that he is today. The exhibition also looks deeper into Celtic history in a bid to understand the culture from which King Arthur emerged...
