Current opportunities for volunteers
We receive many thousands of enquiries each year from people
around the world of all ages who are interested in volunteering,
internships, work placements and work experience.

of the Museum and we actively encourage people from the local
community to come and volunteer with us.
We are currently looking for volunteers to work on the:

We look at every application sent to us but due to the large
number of applications we receive we are unable to acknowledge each
individual application.
We will contact those of you to whom we feel we can offer a
suitable volunteer position, internship or work placement.
Due to the number of applications we receive we are unable to
keep your application on file for more than two months.
