Following a successful application to the Heritage Fund for a development grant to continue work on their 10-year programme of restoration, Beverley Minster is looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager, whose role will include managing the successful delivery of the development phase, writing the delivery phase application to the Heritage Fund, and, if the application is successful, managing the successful completion of the delivery phase.

This project, the ‘Destinations’ project, seeks to save aspects of the priceless Heritage of Beverley Minster and keep the building open for everyone, safe and free to visit. The project will restore the east end of the building, including roof and masonry repairs, conservation of the medieval east window, and potential collaboration with York Minster to support stone masonry training and heritage skills. Externally, the east end grounds will be redeveloped into a biodiverse green space.

Inside, visitor experiences will be enhanced through digital interpretation, virtual access, and improved catering. Extended educational and engagement programmes, including with SEND schools and care homes, will include choral outreach, heritage crafts, history exploration, and wellbeing-focused activities. A new events programme and upgraded lighting system will improve accessibility, sustainability, and financial viability.

Overall, this is a £6.5 million project, which has been awarded development funding of £244,203 by the Heritage Fund to help Beverley Minster progress their plans to apply for a full Heritage Fund grant of £4.3 million at a later date.
