Action-packed gala at the National Coal Mining Museum to celebrate Yorkshire Day

An action-packed three-day gala inspired by the vibrant Miners’ Welfare traditions brought families together for Yorkshire Day at the National Coal Mining Museum.

There were brass bands, interactive storytelling, themed crafts, and thrilling performances including Professor Jon’s Flea Circus, Barnard and Jones’s variety show, and sports skills sessions with Wakefield Trinity and Barnsley FC.

From traditional fairground games to activities like hobby horse racing, our event was packed with fun, pride, and heritage.
