About Barnsley

Known for

The Barnsley Chop, Michael Parkinson's hometown, the Civic, Elsecar Heritage Centre and a South Yorkshire town that's built a creative reputation after mining's end

A little history

A coal mining town whose pits closed in the 1980s and 90s. The Miners' Strike of 1984-85 was felt most acutely here. Barnsley has rebuilt with cultural investment — the new Civic is exceptional.

Local tip

The Barnsley Market is one of Yorkshire's finest. The Civic for excellent arts programming. Elsecar Heritage Centre for industrial history. The Barnsley Chop at a proper pub.
