Birthday parties

Why not join us at Killhope for a truly unique children’s birthday party experience?

We can offer exclusive use of the newly refurbished Buddle House for your child’s adventure birthday experience, from 1.00pm on your chosen day for two-three hours.

The party will also include: 

  • An underground mine trip: From the moment they put on their hard hat, lamps and wellies, their visit becomes an unforgettable adventure.
  • Washing floor experience: See what minerals the party-goers can find amongst the silt including shiny bits of quartz, fluorspar and galena

More information

  • Prices are £10 per child
  • There is a minimum of six and a maximum of 24 children
  • Adult supervision is required (an adult must also be available for the mine trip)
  • You must also provide your own catering, party games and decorations.
