"Hi! I'm Cavewoman. I can't wait to meet you.


I've lived here at
Stump Cross Caverns for, ooh… 10,000 years or so.


That's a
long, long time. But I've never been bored. Stump Cross is a magical place, full of all my favourite things – fossils, fairies and wonderful rock formations.


I'm sure
you're going to love it here too. Caves might seem scary at first, but they're not really. It's my job to show you how fun and fascinating they can be.


My
children's activity days are all about having fun, exploring and making exciting discoveries. Because here at Stump Cross, there are always new things to discover."

The story of Cavewoman

How did I find myself at Stump Cross Caverns in the 21st century? It all started on a warm day in 7832 BC…

The story of Cavewoman

How did I find myself at Stump Cross Caverns in the 21st century? It all started on a warm day in 7832 BC…

10,000 years ago...

"Back then, it was almost always warm. The weather was a little hotter than today – and dangerous animals like wolves and bears roamed Britain's forests.


So, as usual, I was looking for somewhere safe and cool to get a good night's sleep.


That's when I found it – a small, rocky opening hidden behind a withered old bush.


I moved some loose boulders out of the way and squeezed into the crack. It wasn't easy, but I was determined I can't resist a bit of adventure!"

"I can't resist a bit of adventure!"

A new adventure!

"As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, my jaw hit the floor. I was expecting a pokey little cave, but instead I'd stumbled across a vast network of caverns, full of beautiful stalagmites and twisting passageways.


I couldn't wait to show my friends what I'd found. Here was an underground wonderland, where the floors are paved with fossils and the rocks are older than the dinosaurs!


But when they followed me into the cavern, they got scared and ran away. "It's too dark," they yelped. "Who knows what might be lurking down there?""

But when they followed me into the cavern, they got scared and ran away. "It's too dark," they yelped. "Who knows what might be lurking down there?""

Uncovering the secret of the caves...

"I knew the truth, of course. The cavern wasn't scary. It was a place of wonder and excitement – all you needed was a little light to guide you on your way.


So I made a decision. I'll be the light that guides people through the caves. I'll show them that there's nothing to be scared of.


Since that day, I've dedicated my life to exploring Stump Cross Caverns and uncovering its secrets. And even now, 10,000 years later, there are still new mysteries to uncover.


It's my job to take you back in time and show you some of these prehistoric mysteries. With me as your guide, you'll see how fun, fascinating and exciting these caves can be.


So don't be afraid. Dig deep, find your inner strength and join me on a voyage of adventure and discovery."

FAQs for parents

  • Is adult supervision required?

    Children aged eight and over can attend our family activities on their own, as long as an accompanying adult is on site. Children under eight years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

  • What if it's raining?

    Not a problem. If you're looking for indoor activities for kids in Yorkshire, remember: Cavewoman's events are always guaranteed to be fun, educational and rain-free!


    However, it's best to wear warm, waterproof clothes anyway, because the caverns can get quite cold and damp.

  • What if we can't make it?

    No worries. Just get in touch and we'll happily change your booking to a different date.


    Unfortunately, we're unable to offer refunds.

  • Are Cavewoman's activities suitable for toddlers or older children?

    Children of any age can attend (that includes you, parents!). However, Cavewoman's Fossil and Gem Discovery Dig is focused on Key Stage 2 topics, so is most suitable for children between the ages of seven and 11.
