Historian Volunteers

Do you love history? Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge with others? Do you enjoy educating school children about their local history?

We are looking for Historian Volunteers to join our team! Our Historian Volunteers are essential for sharing our rich history with visitors and school groups. We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly individuals to be involved in education workshops for our school visits and history tours on general open days and on some event days.

What we’re looking for:

  • Individuals with a passion for history

  • Confident talking to groups, both adults and children

  • Able to climb stairs - due to the nature of the building, there are a lot of stairs inside the castle, as well as some mild hills involved when giving tours

Knowledge about Hedingham Castle’s history is not essential, as training will be provided.
