The main event hall of the Estonian Mining Museum offers a spacious and industrially elegant setting for hosting large-scale events. It is a space where massive industrial architecture meets contemporary functionality, creating a strong and memorable visual backdrop for any event. The hall is ideal for larger conferences, gala evenings, corporate parties and product launches. Capacity and layout: Theatrical style: up to 200 seats (ideal for conferences, presentations and seminars). With tables (banquet style): up to 150 seats (excellent for formal dinners, as an evening part of summer days or for receptions). Space and facilities The hall stands out for its spaciousness and high ceilings, which allow creative approaches to decoration and lighting. The space can be adapted to suit the character of the event – from rustic industrial style to a luxurious and ceremonial atmosphere. Thanks to good sound insulation and the generous space, it is comfortable to host both technically demanding presentations and live music entertainment here. The hall is equipped with modern presentation technology, reliable WiFi and offers convenient access for guests as well as the event technical crew and caterers.

The event experience doesn't have to end with the party or seminar. Eesti Kaevandusmuuseum offers the chance to extend the journey back in time and stay on the museum grounds in a unique retro accommodation. It's nostalgic in atmosphere but comfortably modern — an ideal lodging solution for summer days, team trainings, or participants of multi-day seminars. Authentic atmosphere: The building and interior carry Soviet-era industrial aesthetics and the everyday mood of miners, offering guests an amusing and exciting change from ordinary hotel rooms. Modern comforts: While the style is retro, the rooms and shared spaces provide all contemporary conveniences — modern washing facilities and a functional kitchenette. All of the team together: Retro accommodation allows event participants to stay compactly in one place. After the evening program you don't have to worry about transport — you can walk straight from the event hall to your room. Why choose retro accommodation when planning an event? This place is not just for sleeping; the event continues conceptually. The accommodation is perfect for "miners' style" themed events, strengthening team spirit (creating a pleasant camp- or troop-like atmosphere) and gives foreign guests an exotic insight into the local history. It is also the most convenient logistical solution when the program starts early or runs late into the night. Accommodation 1 night/person - 21 € Accommodation 1 night/person with breakfast - 27 € Steam sauna - 100 €/2 h

The quarry safari is a full-service off-road adventure that takes participants onto extreme and exciting tracks.

Rides take place in specially prepared off-road vehicles and are led by experienced instructors who ensure both maximum excitement and complete safety.

An interactive hike invites the group to step into the role of real paleontologists who search for and study fossils hundreds of millions of years old directly in nature. Under the guidance of an experienced field leader, participants learn to "read" rocks and get hands-on experience picking ancient traces of life out of rock outcrops. This activity offers a pleasant thrill and genuine joy of discovery for every age group, providing the perfect balance of light physical activity and intellectual entertainment, and leaving unique souvenirs taken directly from nature as keepsakes. Maximum group size - 20 people.

The journey takes participants 8 meters underground into former mining tunnels where oil shale was once mined on a daily basis. Led by experienced guides — some of whom are former miners — you’ll follow an exciting route where you can see and touch heavy mining equipment, walk through dimly lit limestone passages, and experience an authentic underground atmosphere. The visit also includes a memorable ride on a genuine underground miners' train. This classic, indispensable experience tour provides a strong conceptual backbone for any seminar or summer outing and pairs perfectly with above-ground activities or a miners' lunch, either before or after the visit.
