Women in Natural Stone (WINS) will host its next industry event on Thursday, 28th May, offering members and guests a special opportunity to visit a working Bath Stone mine at Park Lane Bathstone in Wiltshire.

Taking place at Park Lane Mine near Corsham, the visit invites participants to go behind the scenes of one of the UK’s active Bath stone operations, providing insight into extraction, block selection and the realities of modern underground quarrying.

Arrival is scheduled from 10:00 am, beginning with introductions and a safety briefing before attendees are taken underground for a guided tour of the mine and block assessment process. The programme also includes a presentation, lunch and networking, continuing WINS’ focus on professional development, knowledge sharing and strengthening connections across the natural stone sector.

The event is being hosted by Stoneworld, which operates the site, giving visitors access to an important source of Bath stone widely used in heritage conservation and contemporary construction projects alike.

As an operational quarry environment, safety boots are required for all attendees, and participants will be supervised throughout the visit.

Places are limited and early booking is advised. To reserve a place, email wins@stonefed.org.uk
