Explorer Ticket - A Self-Guided Cave Experience

Explore Your Way at Kents Cavern

For the first time in over a century, Kents Cavern is inviting visitors to experience the caves in a completely new way.

From 23rd–25th May, our brand-new Explorer’s Ticket gives you the freedom to explore the caves at your own pace during a unique self-guided adventure experience. Armed with a map, you’ll journey underground through one of Britain’s most extraordinary prehistoric landscapes — with the freedom to stop, discover, and explore.

Step into a world shaped over millions of years. Discover ancient cave formations, uncover stories of prehistoric humans and Ice Age animals, and walk through chambers once visited by the Romans. Along the way, you’ll also encounter the legacy of pioneering archaeologist William Pengelly, whose excavations helped change our understanding of human history forever.

Whether you’re searching for adventure, history, atmosphere, or discovery, the Explorer’s Ticket transforms your visit into something far more immersive than a traditional tour.

No rushing.
No schedule.
Just you, your torch, and the caves.
