The Return of Zip World Slate Caverns

This is a historic blog post - the information may no longer be relevant or accurate. Please head to our website homepage for all updated information, or feel free to contact us on 01248 601444 if you require any assistance.

With Zip World Penrhyn Quarry and Fforest already having opened for a few weeks now, Zip World Slate Caverns finally gets the nod of approval from the Welsh Government to reopen its doors as of the 25th of July. The Slate Caverns team have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure the site is fully equipped and prepared for a socially responsible adventure, whilst not detracting from your experience in any way. 

Which adventures are open?

For now, our unique underground adventure course, Caverns, will be reopening on the 25th of July, closely followed on the 27th of July by Bounce Below, the UK's only subterranean bouncy net adventure of its kind. We have made the decision to not reopen Titan, Europe's largest zip zone, until March 2021. If you're looking for a zip line fix, don't worry, there are a huge 13 zip lines scattered along our Caverns course, or alternatively, the world's fastest zip line, Velocity 2 is now open over on our Zip World Penrhyn Quarry site. 

Which health and safety measures will be in place?

We've changed how we operate slightly on site, to make it as socially responsible as possible, but don't worry, this won't impact on your adventure in any way. If you'd like to see an in-depth breakdown of our standard procedures and the 6 steps we have in place, please head here.

The Welsh Government have now given the nod to all underground adventures/ attractions in Wales to reopen, providing they adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Where is Zip World Slate Caverns?

This site is located in the historical Welsh town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, in the snowdonia mountain range. The site itself is based in an old slate mine. Our friends, Llechwedd, who we share the site with, run fantastic deep mine tours.
