Why us?

Newcastle Castle’s medieval Castle Keep and Black Gate are two of the North East’s most important and historic buildings. They are where the story of Newcastle began.

Here at Newcastle Castle, our volunteers are a vital part of our team, working alongside our staff to help preserve the city's history and bring it to life for our visitors. Volunteering is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, hone your skills, develop your CV and give back to your local community. We are a registered charity and rely on the support of our volunteers to help us deliver the extensive range of educational activities and events that we offer throughout the year.
