About the Organisation
The Centre provides a home and meeting point for Folklore in the North of England.
We are a volunteer led arts and cultural centre, with its roots in folklore, serving the North of England through Film, Crafts, a Library and Archive, Education Workshops, Exhibitions, Storytelling, Conferences and Local Folk History talks
We have regular exhibitions which need volunteers willing to manage and ensure the safety of visitors. You will also help with our events, establishing exhibitions and run the library.
