A huge thank you to our friends at the Lake District Foundation for supporting the Museum with the Low Carbon Lake District Grant Scheme.

The Museum is run by a group of volunteers who would welcome new colleagues as the Museum expands. If you have the spare time and think you could help in any way on site, we'd love to hear from you. You'll find it a very friendly place with lovely views and it would be entirely up to you how much time you give. You will find our contact details above.

Threlkeld Quarry is also the home of the Vintage Excavator Trust.



Do come along and join us for our working weekend and see a variety of excavators in action. All are welcome and there will be a selection of food and drinks available!

Please visit our friends at Saddleback Slate

Here is a link to our new online shop

The gallery below shows some of the items available.

We have been donated a number of model kits (both metal and plastic) along with a collection of books on mining, quarrying and railways. The proceeds from the sale of these will go towards the restoration of a 1946 Austin K2 tipper lorry that worked close to the Quarry.

If you see an item you like, please drop us an email here or leave a message on our answerphone on 017687 79747.

Single items (or multiple items up to 1 kg) will be posted at the standard Royal Mail Tracked 48 rate.
