We are creating a team of Visitor Welcome Volunteers to enable us to offer visitors a special experience when they visit. Why not play a part and make a difference?

If you are interested in heritage and York in particular then volunteering at Bedern Hall allows you to indulge your passion and share it with others. We provide the training; you just need to have the commitment and enthusiasm to help us succeed.

There are a variety of different opportunities available to match your skills and interests.
