Your Castle needs you ... Exciting volunteer opportunities at Tamworth Castle

We were delighted when we heard the amazing news this summer that the Castle has successfully secured Heritage Lottery Funding for our project “Out of the Bailey into the Keep”.

The work achieved so far..........................
Volunteers have been, and will continue to be, crucial to the successful delivery of the project. 
We have been recruiting volunteers since December 2011, the response has been amazing, with a high number of interested people contacting us and offering their time and skills freely. 
We have been extremely fortunate to secure an enthusiastic and dedicated team of volunteers focusing on the research and collections work crucial at the first stage of the project delivery.  Their involvement so far includes contribution to the new medieval exhibition, interpretation panels, guided walks and living history activities. 

Our research volunteers have worked closely with the Castle team researching and collating historical information with in the castle’s archive, compiling reports and guidance notes for living history and guided walks and contributing to the production of interpretation panel design.

The next step..............
Please watch this space.  In the next few months the second phase of our recruitment campaign for front line delivery volunteers will begin.
