Exhibitions Installation and dismantling
Volunteers who are happy to help build our exhibitions – ie. hang paintings, paint panels – and assist with the dismantling afterwards.
Workshops
Help with Community workshops around the county and holiday workshops during the summer. Would suit someone who is happy to work with families.
Events
Support with one-off events such as Armed Forces Day or our ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ days working with a member of Museum staff .
Evaluation
Are you comfortable talking to people and asking them questions? We will be using computer tablets to ask about our event and activities this year and we need your support!
