Behind the Scenes, Volunteers & Calls for Help

Celebrating our Stewards and Volunteers

The Weardale Museum Trustees and our Museum Team would like to say thank you to all of our stewards and volunteers for everything that they do.

The Museum would not function without you

Emptying the museum – Can you Help?

As part of the ongoing restoration at the Museum work will be starting shortly on the Manse building.

A doorway from our Wesley room through into the Chapel, works to replace windows, the creation of a stairway into the attic and other essential electrical and mechanical works must take place in the Spring. This will create a lot of dust and vibration from which our artefacts need protection.

We will need to move the artefacts and this will be a major task for our Museum team requiring each artefact to be checked against our accession register, carefully wrapped and packed in container boxes.

Small teams working in each room would make great progress. If you can volunteer any time, please contact Mike, our Curator, who is co-ordinating this work. He can be contacted via Facebook (Mike Beer) or by email:

Our job is not quite as big as theirs 🙂
