Join in on our architecture-themed events and activities at Jarrow Hall for Heritage Open Days! From tours, talks and expert lectures, to crafts and activities for the little ones, there will be something for everyone.

Jarrow Hall has something for everyone! Visit our Bede Museum to learn about the story of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria and the life of one of its most important figures, Bede. Head out onto our farm to meet our animal residents and visit our demonstration Anglo-Saxon village, Gyrwe, to see our reconstructed buildings and learn more about the lives of the Anglo-Saxons.

For Heritage Open Days, dive into our activities and events. Take part in our hands-on wattling workshop to find out how wattle and daub walls were made or attend a tour of the museum and its collections with a special focus on architecture. Little ones can stretch their imagination with special themed crafts and hands-on activities, including building with our Lego sets or foam blocks. They can even explore a reconstruction of the Jarrow monastery in our Minecraft world!

Join our Research, Education and Learning Service Manager, archaeologist Dr Marco Romeo-Pitone, to learn about his work in palaeoarchitecture, followed by a guided tour of our demonstration village to see how these buildings were reconstructed and brought to life through experimental archaeology.
