Volunteering opportunities
We see volunteers as an integral part of the Front of House team, helping us to maintain our opening hours and free entry to our public collection. The warm welcome and knowledgeable service they provide helps enhance the visitor experience and the involvement of community members is a welcome addition to the gallery.
If you have an interest in art, an aptitude for dealing with the public and the availability to commit to at least one shift a month, your assistance could be invaluable to us.
If you'd like to find out further details about volunteering, please email us or call 01225 477233.
