They are closed until the summertime.
I'm not sure where you get tickets from but you could try the Red House Pub.
Are you new to the area?

This topic has been covered quite recently in a book about Wareside and also in the Hertordshire Mercury. It is widely believed that the Wareside Treacle Miners were so named as they emptied/removed the night soil from properties in the area. Don't take my word for this as it might just be another piece of folklore.

Treacle Mines at Wareside,
I was told as a Boy by my Grandfather about the treacle mines,
And he told me about the Soil being removed at Night, It may only be local folklore but its a nice tale so take your pot to collect your Treacle but take care dont fall down the Mine
