Marco manages the 'Skills from the Past for the Future' project at the museum. This project is @HeritageFundUK funded and aims to restore the reconstructed Anglo-Saxon buildings, whilst teaching traditional crafts. Read about our latest basketry workshop: https://t.co/XoDA4d1dKW

We have some beautiful new pages on show this week from the Letters after Lindisfarne project books. Come along and visit Lindisfarne Light, an exhibition produced by @EadfrithScribe at #JarrowHall

Coin striking at @JarrowHall tomorrow. For £3 you can support the museum, have your #AngloSaxon coin struk in a fun activity, and take the coin home as a lovely keepsake from a great day out. You’ll also get a little bit of info about a #Northumbrian coin displayed at the museum.

[Jarrow Hall @JarrowHall]

Assemble team! We’d like to give a big welcome to our new project volunteer Elisabetta, who’s pictured here with Marco and Alex, discussing an exciting @HeritageFundUK @TNLUK @HeritageFundNOR funded project #ThanksToYou the #NationalLottery players.
