How did the First World War change family life at home? Sample wartime cooking, get hands-on with First World War objects, experience a soldier's training camp and meet the First World War nurses.  Family friendly crafts and activities.

 

We need you to make this event a success!  The following volunteers are needed:

•           Cooking volunteers.  These volunteers will assist volunteer Meryl White in delivering (and sampling!)  the First World War cooking demonstrations. 

•           Great War on Tour volunteers.  Help to deliver the Great War on Tour travelling roadshow,  and give visitors the opportunity to discover more about Doncaster's war time history and get hands-on with objects from the First World War.

•           Car park attendants.  Guide traffic in to the carparks and direct visitors. Supervision by an experienced member of staff.

•           Runners. These volunteers will get to sample all activities on offer and relieve other volunteers for breaks.

Snacks and tea/coffee will be provided.
