Calverley Old Hall needs you!
We are looking for volunteers and participants to help us with research, creative content and practical work on site. All ages are welcome and training will be given for each task. We particularly welcome interest from young people who are interested in computer (game) design. We recently laser scanned the whole site and in the future, we would like to digitally recreate Calverley Old Hall through time. We are inviting young people to be our researchers and digital designers. Please email us to express your interest.
We’d love to know what you think about our project to save Calverley Old Hall. Please take a few moments to complete our survey:
