Hole

Culture Club

WEST NEWTON, PA

Dedicated to working class Appalachians, Coal Hole was developed as a space for artists, artisans, activists, organizers, and lecturers on the site of a former bituminous coal mine.

The club is a private garden and amphitheater hidden in the bush along the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail.

Film screenings Thursdays at 7PM.

Join us for local history and lectures.

Closed-toe shoes required.

Admission is currently invitation only.

About

Coal Hole was created in 2024 by a former union floorlayer, cheesemonger, community organizer, and paratrooper.

The club uses a mix of contemporary and folk elements to honor the heritage of the space while also seeking to develop creative and dynamic problem-solvers in our community through curious, furious, and good-natured discussions.
