Volunteering

Ways in which you can volunteer with us and how we will support you.

We offer a wide variety of volunteering roles across our museums and gardens. We encourage volunteers to become a part of our organisation and help make our historic buildings and gardens, world class collections, and exhibitions accessible to all.

Volunteering with us can also provide an insight into museum careers and related occupations. It may also be an opportunity to learn skills that may inspire a new hobby or prove relevant to a career in other industries.

We currently have two volunteering opportunities.
