Join Junction Arts and artists Cora Glasser & Tyler Turner for our This Girl Codes heritage hack lab at Creswell Crags. This is an exclusive opportunity for Derbyshire based home-educated families to access Robin Hood’s Cave to see the witch marks and then take part in inspiring arts, tech and heritage activities. 

Our artist team will help you to draw inspiration from the caves to create spell poems and turn drawings into sounds, sounds into drawings to see and hear the witch marks tell their own story...

Accessibility Information:

The Caves are situated within a natural landscape. Unfortunately, the caves are not accessible for wheelchair users/those with some mobility issues. You will need to walk 10 minutes to reach the caves and remain standing throughout the tour/activity. The caves are accessed from the footpath via wooden stairs, with further stairs inside each cave. In Robin Hood Cave, there is a section of low ceiling which makes it necessary to crouch down in order to walk under, and also uneven floors to navigate. Although the helmets are equipped with a headlamp, light levels may not be sufficient for those with visual perception difficulties, or people who are blind or partially sighted. Light levels may also be insufficient for those who lipread. There are cave spiders at Creswell Crags. Whilst they can be large, they are harmless and protected. Please contact us if you have any queries or concerns about accessing the caves.
