Blyth Battery

Who are the Blyth Battery Volunteers?

Blyth Battery is operated by the Blyth Battery Volunteers, a small, committed, enthusiastic group who work to maintain, conserve and research the Battery, and to open it to visitors. Blyth Battery Volunteers also put on displays and events celebrating the history of the Battery throughout the year.

The Volunteers welcome all to the group and are always keen for new members to join. Even if you can only offer a small ammount of time, your help would be very much appreciated. There are various ways in which you can help the Battery, from making tea and meeting visitors to leading guided tours and making replica artefacts. Training is available if required.

Contact Lindsay Durward (Secretary) on lindsaysdurward@tiscali.co.uk for more information on how to get involved.
