Supporting the Warkworth Museum
The Warkworth Museum is a self-funding charitable organisation and without the help of our members and volunteers we would not be able to continue to grow and develop our exhibits and offer a great experience for visitors.
As a community built Museum, we aim to conserve and preserve the history of our local area and we could not do this without your support.
You can support us in number ways including becoming a volunteer, making donations/bequests or by becoming a Museum member.
Membership
We have a committed group of Museum members who support us through their annual subscriptions. Membership of the Warkworth Museum offers real value and is a great way of keeping up with our activities and ensuring the history of the area is preserved for future generations.

Donations of any size are welcome and through donations we are able to provide education programmes for schools as well as providing information sharing opportunities for community groups and individuals. Donations also assist us with exhibition and building maintenance and allow us to continue to provide a great Museum experience.
You can make a one off or regular donation, become a member of the Museum or you can make a bequest in your will and arrange to leave a legacy.
Donations of historical material
The Warkworth Museum also actively seeks donations of historical material for its collections.
Many families in the district have already donated family treasures for their preservation within the Museum and you can too.
