Jarrow Hall

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. Drop into our hands-on heritage skills workshops to find out how things were done in the past or attend a museum tour with a focus on architecture. Little ones can stretch their imagination with 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 tour of our demonstration village to see how these buildings were reconstructed and brought to life through experimental archaeology. Take a guided tour at St Paul’s Church to learn about the history of the church and Anglo-Saxon monastery.
