Volunteer with us
September 2025 Update
Places are now open again for volunteering at Jarrow Hall. Please see below for ways you can get involved and how to apply.
Make the difference and volunteer with us!
We offer a wide range of volunteering roles at Jarrow Hall. If you are a fan of history and re-enactment, you may wish to be part of our Living History group and help bring our Anglo-Saxon farm and village to life! We also have opportunities to volunteer within our Visitor Services Team, working front-of-house or on the farm to help take care of our animals. You can support our Collections Team, looking after our archaeological heritage and help with the delivery of our Education Programme for schools.
