A typical outing with us begins at either 9:00am sharp or 12.30pm however we advise players to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to these times to ensure registration forms are completed fully by the entire group. Once registration forms have been completed, each player will be issued with all the equipment they need for the games and given a brief demonstration on correct use of same, their hopper will be pre-loaded with ammunition and extra ammunition is available as and when required during the games.

Mining Experience at Arigna Mining Experience

 

Up for a challenging and unconventional stag party activity in Ireland? We’ve got the scoop on one of the must-visit mines in Ireland: The Arigna Mining Experience Center is a portal to the past, a glimpse into the energy-rich heritage of the Arigna Valley. Picture this: a journey through coal mining life from the 1700s right up until the mines hung up their pickaxes in 1990. It’s like stepping into a time machine, only with more hard hats.

Underground Tours

Now, here’s where the real craic begins – our underground tour. Lasting a solid 45 minutes, our expedition takes you to the coal face of the mine, where we’ll show you the ropes (literally) of coal extraction. 

The narrowest coal seams in the Western world? Check. Moody lighting and sound effects? Double check. It’s an authentic experience that’ll have you questioning if you’ve stumbled onto the set of a historical blockbuster.

Delve Into A Miner’s Life

 

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a miner? Well, now’s your chance, lads. Join an ex-miner as your guide on this journey through the underground maze. The dripping water, the pitch-black darkness, and the cramped conditions will have you thanking your lucky stars for modern office jobs. It’s a bit like spelunking but with a splash of Irish history.

Oh, and don’t forget your jacket – it might be summed up above, but it’s a cool 10 degrees down there. Safety first, mates!

Pricing that Won’t Empty your Gold Pouch

Now, let’s talk turkey – or should we say coal? The Arigna Mining Experience won’t burn a hole in your pocket. For a mere €13, you can dive headfirst into this subterranean adventure. Seniors and students get a discount of €11, while the younger lads (5-18 years old) can join the party for just €7.

And if you’re bringing the whole crew along, check out the family rates. Two adults and a child? €30. Two adults and five or six ankle-biters? Just €50. Now, that’s what we call a deal sweeter than a pint of the black stuff.

Still hesitant if you should go mining with us? Check out Veronica Ryan’s wonderful journey at The Arigna Mining Experience:

A wonderful insight into what the working life of the miners must have been like.  Michael, our guide (& former miner) was terrific.  Very generous with how he shared his lived experience of working at Arigna.  This Exhibit is worth a visit.  Very nice coffee shop to avail of after the tour.
